John,

In a moment, we’ll tell you about how MAGA is trying to smear this weekend’s pro-democracy protests as unAmerican, but first we want to ask for your support.

We set a goal to raise $25,000 by Saturday at midnight to fuel our “No Kings’ coverage and with 48 hours left to go, we’re still $10,000 short. We’d be grateful if you could support our work with donation of any amount today:

House Speaker Mike Johnson called this weekend’s No Kings protests a “hate America rally.”

Majority Leader Steve Scalise called them “outrageous.”

Trump’s cabinet allies are claiming peaceful marchers are “antifa” and “pro-Hamas.”

Let’s be clear: exercising the First Amendment — the right “to assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances” — is as American as it gets.

When MAGA smears patriotism as treason, they’re not just attacking protestors — they’re trying to rewrite what America stands for.

That’s why your support of COURIER’s coverage of the upcoming “No Kings” protests matters so much right now.

While the legacy news media capitulates to Trump and covers his latest distraction, COURIER’s team is on the ground showing what this weekend’s protests really is: millions of ordinary people standing up for democracy — peacefully, patriotically, and without fear.

Please, do your part to ensure that the patriotic truth of these protests defeats the MAGA smears by chipping in $25 or more right now.

Chip in $25 before Saturday

Every dollar fuels reporting that exposes Trump and MAGA’s lies and amplifies the courage of those he tries to silence.

Thanks for standing with us,
— The COURIER Team
