In the months between “No Kings” rallies, the backdrop of current events has changed — from National Guard deployments to immigration enforcement crackdowns and now the war with Iran.
But many issues remain the same, according to organizers.
“Our members will be turning out peacefully in the streets because they believe in a better future for this country, and they can’t sit by on the sidelines about what Trump and his administration are doing to our home,” said Katie Bethell, executive director of MoveOn. “Let’s be clear, the Trump administration has become a threat to the American people at every level. They are waging violence at home and abroad.”
Americans, organizers said, are fed up with “constant chaos, and they’re ready to stand in solidarity against the Trump administration’s overreach.”
“That’s why millions of us are rising up from all walks of life, from rural communities to big cities at ‘No Kings,’” Bethell said.
