John,
Clowns have always been political.
From ancient street performers to anti-fascist disrupters like the
Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA)^1, clowning has a radical
lineage: exposing the absurdity of authoritarianism, mocking power, and
stripping tyrants of their illusion of control.^2
^
That’s exactly what we’re doing on June 14, Trump’s birthday—and the day
he plans to parade through D.C. like a tinpot dictator.
We’re flipping the script with Kick Out The Clowns: grassroots street
circuses across the country that laugh, rage, and resist. But to pull this
off at scale, we need your help.

chaos, and the courage it takes to face down fascism with joy and
defiance?

In radical joy,
Women’s March
