What's Next after No Kings?

Yesterday, over seven million Americans joined the largest single-day protest against tyranny in our nation’s history. In 2,700 small towns and big cities, on street corners in the heart of so-called “Trump country,” on overpasses and in historic plazas, people rose up in defense of their neighbors, their rights, and their democracy. 

It was joyful. It was peaceful. And it was patriotic. The Trump regime tried to paint No Kings Day as a “hate America” protest, but what we saw on display was the best of what this country is meant to be -- a nation that refuses to succumb to intimidation, a people that fiercely defends our freedoms and says in one voice, across generations, religions, races, gender identities, and nations of origin: We are all Americans, and we will not bow to kings.

Despite the threats and virulently un-American attempts to chill speech in the days leading up to Saturday, our numbers only grew. Two million MORE people hit the streets than in June. In Platte City, Missouri, No Kings exploded from 20 protesters four months ago to 550 yesterday. Stories like that poured in from every corner of the country.

Our pro-democracy movement is surging. Now it’s up to each of us to channel this incredible energy into the organizing power it will take to win. 

Join us on Tuesday night at 8pm ET/5pm PT for a mass call of movement leaders and activists to discuss what’s next.

Protests serve many purposes -- they change the narrative, they grow our movement, they show people reeling under the weight of the regime’s atrocities that they are not alone. But a single day of protest -- even the largest single-day protest we’ve seen in our lifetimes -- will not overcome the fascist onslaught we face. It’s going to take ongoing, strategic organizing -- exactly the kind of organizing Indivisible was created to foster -- to deliver us from tyranny.

That’s what Tuesday’s mass all is going to be about. You won’t want to miss it. 

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
