Millions across the US rallied against Trump's authoritarian agenda in nationwide No Kings protests, featuring speeches, performances, and massive crowds.
It’s not too late to join - No Kings has more events coming up.
In the meantime, your wallet is your strongest voice in the eyes of this administration. Think carefully about where you spend your hard earned money. A single day of avoiding Walmart and Amazon is not meaningful if you give them your money tomorrow.
Find local businesses that deserve your money and spend your money with them instead. Buy less and buy better quality items that last longer. Reduce consumerism and give homemade gifts or experiences instead of more junk nobody needs. Use lending libraries, swap groups, and other methods to reduce your contribution to the economy, which is frankly the only thing your government cares about.
We seriously need a countrywide and also even individual online real-time communities for states and cities focused on getting things done together.
Especially to inform each other on when these events are
I know many people who would have gone including myself.
Keep getting more people active, and most importantly connected with each other in-person and online. We all got this!! First we need to better connect!
Edit: Stoat, and Matrix are ideal for the platforms to build up these online 3rd spaces
In Chicago, we have the Chicago Activism Hub where people post protests, gatherings, workshops, other activist events, etc. That’s usually my go-to for determining when large protests like No Kings are happening.
Maybe you have a similar website hosted by an organization(s) from your state’s largest city? Cities tend to be more Democratic and have more of that drive towards organizing.
As shitty as they are, you probably need an Instagram profile. Then you “like” the anti-maga posts. My feed was pretty much full of No Kings stuff. I knew about the protests for a few months.
Didn’t even know this was happening… I would have gone if I knew. How does one even get information on protests? They seem to be heavily suppressed.

Nokings.org ? You do have to look for it. Not going to show up on your Instagram feed…

Nokings.org is the site I went to. I just keep an eye on their site and check it like once a week to see if anything is happening in my area
I got a warning from uBlock when visiting your link. Perhaps you meant nokings.org ?
I did. I’ll fix the comment now
I just googled it after the last one. Honestly though, I saw a lot less coverage on this one. I’m surprised that it was bigger.
