Why Every American Must Join the 'No Kings' Protests on June 14

Joe Trippi

On Saturday, June 14, Americans from all walks of life will take to the streets in peaceful defiance — not of our Constitution, but in defense of it. These are the No Kings Protests, and if you believe in democracy, rule of law, and the enduring promise of liberty, you need to be there.

We protest not as partisans, but as patriots. Not in darkness or chaos, but in daylight and clarity. Because this isn’t just another political disagreement—it’s a test of who we are as a people, and what kind of country we intend to be.

Why Protest Now?

Because we are watching the slow, deliberate dismantling of American democracy.

The apprehending of anyone in America and sending them to a foreign gulag without due process is on its face unAmerican.. The militarization of city streets in response to a handful of city blocks of dissent. The grotesque decision to summon 700 U.S. Marines over a local protest in Los Angeles and to label it an “insurrection.” These are not the actions of a confident president. They are the tactics of someone trying to create a police state — and daring us to do nothing about it.

Those who can, absolutely MUST!

Those who can't go to a protest can donate to Indivisible, MoveOn, PBS, Free Speech TV or other independent media you like.

Do what you can with what you've got to do it with!

It's important that EVERYONE fights this NOW.
