When the first No Kings rallies were held June 14, the country was bracing for the president’s loudly touted—and subsequently sparsely attended—military parade held that same day.
A week before, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched large-scale immigration raids, with Los Angeles as its main target. Protests broke out across the city, prompting the president to nationalize the National Guard and deploy troops in the city.
Look around. Things have become even more chaotic.
That’s one of many reasons why the organizers of No Kings are planning No Kings 2, which they say they hope will be even bigger than the original No Kings event—which drew nearly 5 million protesters in thousands of cities and town in all 50 states.
No Kings 2 will be held on Saturday, Oct. 18. Click HERE to register with UUP to attend a No Kings event near you. UUP members who register on UUP’s page will automatically be registered with No Kings.
"The only known solution to creeping authoritarianism is broad-based, peaceful, geographically dispersed mass engagement by everyday Americans,” Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin said in the Sept. 8 issue of Rolling Stone magazine. “That’s what works. We’ve been building the movement to bring in more people, to build a sense that in America, we don’t do kings.
“I expect No Kings 2 to be the largest protest of the year,” Levin said. “We had 5 to 6 million people across 2,169 communities turn out for No Kings 1. It was wildly successful. And the good news is: We’re doing it again. We’re going to pull out even more people.”
UUP has once again partnered with No Kings. UUP President Fred Kowal is urging members to attend No Kings events and raise their voices in support of freedom of speech and democracy and against authoritarianism.
