Hi,
Donald Trump is hell-bent on making himself king.
He turned ICE into a nationwide masked army loyal only to him. He purged
the federal government of independent experts and replaced them with MAGA
loyalists. He bullied media outlets and universities to silence
dissent.^1,2
But in America, we don't have kings.
That's why we're joining the nationwide No Kings Day on Saturday, October
18, and we're counting on your support to help make this the biggest
protest against Donald Trump ever.

On June 14, more than 5 million people took to the streets in every corner
of the country and declared with one voice: America has no kings.^3
It was one of the largest days of protest in U.S. history, and it
mattered. The world saw the American people stand up against Trump's
authoritarianism, and Trump's birthday parade was drowned out by protests
in every state and across the globe.
Since then, Trump has doubled down on authoritarianism. Sending the
military into our streets to terrorize communities. Profiling, arresting,
and detaining people without warrants. Openly taking bribes from
billionaires and foreign governments. Silencing voters by attempting to
ban mail-in voting and gerrymander Congress into a permanent MAGA
majority.^4,5,6
Trump thinks his rule is absolute. But "No Kings" is more than just a
slogan. It's the foundation our nation was built upon.
That's why Demand Progress Action is joining with hundreds of other
organizations for No Kings Day on Saturday, October 18, the next
nationwide day of protest against Trump's authoritarian power grab.
