MODERATORS
We know it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and discouraged about everything that’s happening right now. It’s easy to feel worn down with all of this bad news coming at us.
Our democracy and personal freedoms being chipped away, our loved ones being affected by the extreme policies of conservatives in this country and the entire world, and we still have to get up every day and tend to our everyday responsibilities like showing up for work and taking care of our families.
BUT, let this map of our No Kings protests on June 14th invigorate you. There are OVER 1,800 protests planned in the US alone, and it’s not only us!
We even have NO KINGS protests planned in South America and Europe too. This is a GLOBAL stand against fascism and right-wing extremism.
1,800 cities and towns in 50 states decided - we the people will NOT put up with this. We will not just stand by and allow our rights, freedoms and what it means to be American be stripped away from us. We will not stand by as our neighbors are abducted from our communities.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS FIGHT. We WILL win, we just have to pace ourselves, and show up for what we believe in. Justice, freedom & liberty for all.
Join us on JUNE 14th for a GLOBAL protest against Trump and his administration’s corruption. There are NO KINGS in America! ❌👑

I think in many countries it's "No Tyrants". That's definitely the label used for the protest in Toronto.

But, the US has a really weird idea of what a "King" is. The English king hasn't had absolute power since even before the Magna Carta was signed in 1215. The US concept of what a king actually is or does is just as muddled as the US view of universal healthcare, public transit, socialism, and so-on.
Actually saw some people on a bridge on the commute home waving signs for this, kind of surprised on our smaller area
Fascism will eventually affect everyone
What do the stars mean?
I was thinking major cities, but I came up with Atlanta, NYC, Chicago, Houston and... El Paso?
I had the same thought! It's Phoenix though. The site has a few more starred, like Philly and Charlotte. I wonder if stars are based on signups, and places like LA have a different major protest planned.
That was my first thought, but Seattle and LA aren't "starred".
Nice to see more than 1 in Puerto Rico!
