Hi,
Have you heard the news? There will be ANOTHER No Kings Day in 2026!
But with Trump's authoritarian abuses of power escalating by the day, we
need to make the next No Kings Day even bigger and more powerful than the
first two.
Trump's masked army of ICE thugs is shooting people on the street with
impunity.^1 He attacked Venezuela to steal their natural resources and is
threatening to do the same in Cuba, Colombia, Greenland, and Mexico.^2
Demand Progress Action recruited people to attend nearly 1,300 events for
the No Kings protest in October, and we're aiming to go even bigger this
time.

and most powerful yet, and push for other key reforms?

Harvard University political scientist Erica Chenoweth has shown that it
only takes about 3.5% of the population actively participating in
nonviolent protest to bring about major political reform.^3 That's about
11.5 million Americans, and the No Kings protest in October saw 7 million
people join in.^4
In other words, we're almost there.
The No Kings movement is a huge, diverse coalition coming together to
defend democracy. No single organization can stop authoritarianism alone.
But together, we've fought to rein in Trump's masked army of ICE agents,
beat back his attacks on free speech, defend the integrity of the 2026
midterm elections, and more.
Here's the challenge: Organizing large protests like this requires a major
investment of resources.
[ [link removed] ]So as we prepare to help make the next No Kings Day the biggest day of
protests ever, we're asking you to chip in whatever you can to support our
No Kings organizing efforts, and push for other key reforms.
Thanks for taking action,
Joey and the team at Demand Progress Action
