The nationwide “No Kings!” rallies Saturday were truly extraordinary. All told, over 5,000,000 people took part in over 2,100 rallies in all 50 states and beyond.

Collectively, the American people told Donald Trump “No Kings!” and voiced a resounding rejection of his corrupt, vicious, authoritarian regime.

One of us (Robert) addressed the gathering of over 150,000 people at the flagship rally in Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon: “This small-minded man, this petty individual, he thinks he should be a king. ... But let me tell you, my friends, this would-be emperor has no clothes!”

And the other (Lisa), was featured on PBS NewsHour that evening: “This is not the America we know. ... People are truly fed up, and wanted to gather to say just that.”

Public Citizen is very proud to have served as one of the leading groups — along with the ACLU, American Federation of Teachers, Black Voters Matter, Indivisible, MoveOn, and over 200 other partners — that organized this incredible nationwide day of action.

• We are already organizing another nationwide mobilization in July. Keep an eye on your inbox for more about that in the weeks ahead.

• We are building out more and more capacity for rapid response mobilizations as the Trump regime ramps up its authoritarian tactics.

• And of course we are sending you regular updates on our lawsuits (16 so far) against the regime since Trump returned to power.

We appreciate anything you can chip in to help make sure we have the ongoing financial resources to fight Trump day after day after day. (If donating is not a good fit right now, we understand.)

Thank you for being part of this shared project called Public Citizen and the work we’re doing together to confront the Trump regime.

For progress,

- Robert Weissman & Lisa Gilbert, Co-Presidents of Public Citizen
