We protect our community and defend democracy - we do not put people at risk or threaten violence.

On June 14, our clown-king will honor himself with a four-mile military parade in our nation’s capitol. Trump’s tacky parade was inspired by dictators he idolizes, and will cost taxpayers nearly $100 million. Join our local Women’s March and Indivisible chapters in protest of our would-be king’s ridiculous military parade.

Indivisible’s NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. The flag doesn’t belong to the administration - it belongs to us. Join us to make history.

Women’s March has the same idea: June 14 is our chance to reflect the absurdity of the MAGA regime and the clowns who lead it. When you elect clowns, the country becomes a circus. 🤡 This will be a day of bold, creative actions in protest of the chaos MAGA has sown across the country. Together, we’ll set a national record for the most circuses held in a single day while we simultaneously refuse to celebrate a petty clown who desperately wants to be seen as strong. We won’t stop until we build the country we all deserve.

Our grassroots street circuses turn satire into resistance and reclaim the big tent for democracy.

Stay tuned for more detailed information about this massive day of resistance!
