Hey Everyone,
Thank you for showing up and speaking out at our No Kings rally and march yesterday! We estimate at least 8,000 people attended, making yesterday’s event our largest this year. Last evening national Indivisible posted on Facebook, “Nearly 7 million people have attended today’s peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history! With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump’s presidential inaugurations (combined).”
We thank our coalition partners, speakers, musicians, volunteers, and all of you! Together we are making a difference and pushing back against authoritarianism.
Fired up from the event and want to do more?
Head over to the Coalition Linktree ([link removed]) to learn about our Signs of Solidarity ([link removed]) action as well as actions from our coalition partners.

* NATIONAL: DEMAND THE EXTENSION OF THE ACA PREMIUM TAX CREDITS!
The Senate could not reach an agreement on the continuing resolution to keep the government funded until November. The current resolution allows the Affordable Care Act premium subsidies to expire. Without these subsidies, ACA premiums will skyrocket for 2026. The Democrats are taking a stand and demanding the extension of the tax credits. Call Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul and ask that they vote for an agreement that extends the ACA premium subsidies. The 5 Calls Website has up-to-date information and talking points ([link removed]) .
