June 14 NO KINGS protests: Information, resources, locations

This discussion thread is pinned.


This thread compiles various No Kings information and resources so that I can link directly from the home page until June 14. If you have additional resources you'd like to add, either PM me or reply directly to this OP.

WHAT IS NO KINGS?

From NoKings.org:

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like.

We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.

The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings.


INFORMATION, RESOURCES, AND LOCATIONS

The main protest march takes place in Philadelphia, but the No Kings organizers hope to hold hundreds of smaller protests nationwide on June 14.

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption.

For that reason, NO KINGS is not hosting an event in Washington, D.C. We will instead have a major flagship march and rally in Philadelphia to draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade in Washington. You can RSVP for the Philadelphia event here.

For participants in the D.C. area, we encourage you to join us in Philadelphia, find a local NO KINGS mobilization in Virginia or Maryland, or join our partners at Free D.C. for DC Joy Day, a community-led event in the District.

and have TOTAL "situational awareness"of your surroundings, when you participate.............

The last peaceful demonstration in downtown Denver were peaceful protestors at the Black Lives Matter protest..........
And many years later, the Denver City Council is STILL settling millions of dollars worth of lawsuits for the Flagrant, UNPROVOKEDl, and unquestionable police brutality that was exhibited by the Denver Police Department on the demonstrators........

It was very sad, some of the protestors were literally maimed for life. There is a large segment of Good/Great Cops on the DPD, and all it takes are a few goons to ruin the reputation of the other Officers on the DPD.........

that will help.............

Any confrontation will be cheerfully welcomed by Trump and his CABAL as reason to enable the "Insurrection Act" and ignore the "Posse Comatatus Act"..........

Trump has already used BS "justifications" to put 6,000 U.S. Military on the Mexican Border, with weapons and vehicles that are only seen in wars.........

I've been spending a lot of time gathering current info from various sources to post on DU.

Yesterday I got my calculator out and added up the number of protests to date since the map for NO KINGS stops counting when they reach 1,000 protests. I correctly predicted how this protest is growing so rapidly that it will be the largest in history and surpass the original 2017 Women's March.

I got a total of 1,700 planned protests. There are 2 weeks to go so this will continue to add more and more until June 14th.

The ICE deportations, high prices/tariffs, cuts in social security and healthcare, etc are pissing everyone off. Even the GOP base of senior citizen constituents are angry since now tRump is harming them. They didn't care when tRump harmed everyone else.
