This is expanding to Europe now. By June 14th millions will be marching against tRump.
This is our country and we do not have kings!

"America, we don’t do kings!
They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings."

About No Kings
On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like.

We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.

The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings.

1. Should we say "Running lights on to protest Trump?"

It would be great fun to see magats try to disable theirs!

Anyway, worth doing before they do???

I just replaced mine and I know how, but better to let magats stew.

I'll delete if this idea is a dud.

4. Check the link to find the events...tons of them!

There are two planned for my local area. Now I have to decide which one to attend.

8. Thank you so much for this!

Even my small town (pop 8,000) has an event scheduled. You can bet that I will be there with my protest sign held high!

NO !!!

11. You're welcome!

We are the non treasonous Americans and if it is anyone's flag it belongs to us, not MAGA.

6. ANy info or link on expanding to Europe? I"ve heard Ezra say that but havent seen anything in print.

[BigmanPigman]

12. Go to the link in the OP

I just clicked on it and it shows 9 different protests in Europe. That number has been growing, too. I expect more will be added so keep checking.

15. Still not seeing it? JUst see the US map.

[BigmanPigman]

16. I just tried it and it works...

You need to enlarge/expand the map since it is so big. Go to the link and the map is there with dots showing the events. Manipulate the map to show the whole planet, not just the US.

They are in these cities I just looked at on the map...
Edinburgh UK, London England, Hamburg Germany, Paris France, Friebeurg Switzerland, Florence Italy, Montpellier France and Barcelona Spain.

17. Found them. VAncouver CA is calling it no tyrants. KIng Charles just spoke to open parliament yesterday so I wondered

how they would handle that.
Thanks for posting. I have been posting the NoKings event every three days since they opened it. I think what you did posting the title with 1000 + events grabbed a lot of people..

[BigmanPigman]

18. I'm sure that there will be many more

events added in th next 2 1/2 weeks. People are very angry!

[Amaryllis]

19. And the Indivisible people have had a lot of very visible press lately!

[BigmanPigman]

22. YEAH!!!

I hope the US media covers this massive protest but I doubt it. The one on April 5th (HANDS OFF) had over 1,200 protests and 5.2 million protesters and the only media coverage was from Rachel Maddow. A few days later PBS picked up on it...too late to the party guys!

Of course this is NO surprise to us. MSM = $$$$$$$$$

7. We need a protest that stops / interrupts the parade right in front of the reviewing stand

Flood the streets.

[Amaryllis]

9. Event organizers are specifically asking people to stay away from DC. they dont want the story to become about violence

[BigmanPigman]

13. Organizers are planning on Philly being the "big one"

The link in the OP says.....

"Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption.

For that reason, NO KINGS is not hosting an event in Washington, D.C. We will instead have a major flagship march and rally in Philadelphia to draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade in Washington. You can RSVP for the Philadelphia event here.

For participants in the D.C. area, we encourage you to join us in Philadelphia, find a local NO KINGS mobilization in Virginia or Maryland, or join our partners at Free D.C. for DC J
Day, a community-led event in the District.


A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events."

14. K&R

Thanks for posting this.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

20. Thanks for posting! So far

there are at least three close enough for my husband and me to consider. One is about three hours away, but would allow us to meet up with my sister at the rally as we did in April.


Every DUer who can, please attend one of these events and bring your friends & family if possible!

21. I'm thinking about my sign design.

I am ready for No Kings day! It’s Flag day! Let’s Go!

[BigmanPigman]

23. This will be my 26 protest since 2016

I am a trained illustrator and teacher and I have spent hours and hours on each sign for each protest. Since I started I perfected a way to "cut and paste" my "old" signs sort of like an envelope going over the original sign with a 1" dowel attached so it is a double sided sign and it doesn't hurt your hands. Since my area gets windy a 1" dowel helps my hands a lot.

24. Great ideas!

It’s been a windy spring here too. Thanks!
