“No Kings” rallies return on October 18

“As President Trump continues to pretend he’s a dictator, we are standing up again to push back against his hateful, authoritarian actions,” said Rick Osa, Chairperson of the Dent County Democratic Club. “Our peaceful day of action is going to bring together local residents from all walks of life who share a simple message: We don’t do kings in America.”

On June 14, more than five million people across all 50 states joined No Kings in the largest single-day rally yet against President Trump’s authoritarianism. The upcoming Oct. 18 day of action is the next step in the growing movement, channeling that energy into yet another coordinated, peaceful mobilization.

We’re excited to join with other groups organizing the No Kings peaceful rallies across the country including ACLU, American Federation of Teachers, Common Defense, 50501, Human Rights Campaign, Indivisible, League of Conservation Voters, MoveOn, National Nurses United, Public Citizen, SEIU, among others. A full list of partners can be seen at www.nokings.org/partners.
