Join Us for the No Kings National Day of Action

Tomorrow, October 18, is the No Kings National Day of Action. We鈥檒l be out in the streets with communities across the country to condemn President Trump鈥檚 escalating abuses of power.

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. The president and his administration have made it clear that if someone disagrees with the government, that person, organization, or industry will be punished.

They鈥檝e targeted judges by name, detained journalists and protestors, and attacked our civil rights. Enough is enough. They may be trying to crush dissent 鈥 but that means we will only get louder.

We鈥檙e teaming up with partners to lead a nationwide day of lawful, peaceful protest and ensure that the world knows that we, the people, will hold power to account.

(This link takes you to a third-party site, mobilize.us. Indivisible will know you came from us, and their privacy policy applies.)

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent and lawful 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.
