Dear John,
It’s Jane Fonda, Kerry Washington, John Legend, and Alan Cumming. You may know us from our work on the screen, but something else we all have in common is that we are all longtime activists and champions for grassroots organizing. We recently relaunched The Committee for the First Amendment to fight against government attacks on free speech that are part of the authoritarian playbook. We stand with No Kings in this work and encourage you all to join a protest on October 18.
Already, nearly 2,500 protests are planned in every single state and even internationally. That's more events than the first No Kings protests in June, and is on track to be the largest peaceful protest in modern American history. We're working with a broad coalition of progressive organizations, and the movement is growing. Every time the administration chips away at our freedoms, our movement grows stronger—proof that the people will not back down, because power belongs to the people. America has no kings. This country does not belong to rulers, or billionaires. It belongs to us, and we will defend it.
Will you join us on October 18 to show that America has no kings? That when we stand together, we can drown out authoritarianism with the voices of everyday people demanding freedom?
We'll be in the streets for immigrant families under attack and for voters who are being silenced. For communities being terrorized by militarized policing. For families who are about to lose their health insurance. And for every single person whose rights are threatened by this administration's cruelty.
He governs like his rule is absolute. But America has no kings. Will you join No Kings on October 18, and be a part of the biggest day of peaceful protest in modern American history?
As performers and activists, the connection between those bodies of work is that we’re in a profession of empathy, as well as openness to the human experience. And that is part of why we’re asking you to join No Kings on October 18. This movement is carried by millions. It belongs to the people who care, who show up, who fight for equity and dignity for all.
No thrones. No crowns. No kings.
With love,
Jane, Kerry, John, & Alan
