June 14 NO KINGS protests: Information, resources, locations

[EarlG]

This thread compiles various No Kings information and resources so that I can link directly from the home page until June 14. If you have additional resources you'd like to add, either PM me or reply directly to this OP.

WHAT IS NO KINGS?

From NoKings.org:

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.

INFORMATION, RESOURCES, AND LOCATIONS

The main protest march takes place in Philadelphia, but the No Kings organizers hope to hold hundreds of smaller protests nationwide on June 14.

5. A special note on Washington, D.C. for No Kings Day protests:

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.

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 Joy Day, a community-led event in the District.

23. D.C. is an island where GOP pols think they are in a safe fortress

We don't need to go there to show the strength of our nation. WE are the nation's strength and we are everywhere. Come out and show him, wherever you happen to be, but leave D.C. as the ghost town of delusions it is under the GOP.

9. Please be careful

and have TOTAL "situational awareness"of your surroundings, when you participate.............

The last peaceful demonstration in downtown Denver were peaceful protestors at the Black Lives Matter protest..........
And many years later, the Denver City Council is STILL settling millions of dollars worth of lawsuits for the Flagrant, UNPROVOKEDl, and unquestionable police brutality that was exhibited by the Denver Police Department on the demonstrators........

It was very sad, some of the protestors were literally maimed for life. There is a large segment of Good/Great Cops on the DPD, and all it takes are a few goons to ruin the reputation of the other Officers on the DPD.........

11. Indivisible and partners (MoveOn, etc.) have safely and de-escalation trainings that they are promoting. Lots of

emphasis on that. You can sign up on the NoKings website.

[DENVERPOPS]

13. Hopefully

that will help.............

Any confrontation will be cheerfully welcomed by Trump and his CABAL as reason to enable the "Insurrection Act" and ignore the "Posse Comatatus Act"..........

Trump has already used BS "justifications" to put 6,000 U.S. Military on the Mexican Border, with weapons and vehicles that are only seen in wars.........

[Amaryllis]

14. THat is why they want us to stay out of DC, to avoid confrontation with MAGATS or Trump escalating.

10. Thanks EarlG!

12. Upholding our obligations as citizens to restore our freedoms.

15. Am I the only one who isn't feeling like this meme is anywhere close to the defining moment?

[BigmanPigman]

16. Thank you!!!

I've been spending a lot of time gathering current info from various sources to post on DU.

Yesterday I got my calculator out and added up the number of protests to date since the map for NO KINGS stops counting when they reach 1,000 protests. I correctly predicted how this protest is growing so rapidly that it will be the largest in history and surpass the original 2017 Women's March.

I got a total of 1,700 planned protests. There are 2 weeks to go so this will continue to add more and more until June 14th.

The ICE deportations, high prices/tariffs, cuts in social security and healthcare, etc are pissing everyone off. Even the GOP base of senior citizen constituents are angry since now tRump is harming them. They didn't care when tRump harmed everyone else.

17. Same day as Indy Pride 2025

24. Protesters are being encouraged to "reclaim" our US flag

so wear/bring one to the protest if you can. I made mine into a cape so that my arms are free to carry my large and heavy protest sign.
