Yesterday, over seven million Americans joined the largest single-day protest against tyranny in our nation’s history.

In 2,700 small towns and big cities, on street corners in the heart of so-called “Trump country,” on overpasses and in historic plazas, people rose up in defense of their neighbors, their rights, and their democracy.

It was joyful. It was peaceful. And it was patriotic. The Trump regime tried to paint No Kings Day as a “hate America” protest, but what we saw on display was the best of what this country is meant to be -- a nation that refuses to succumb to intimidation, a people that fiercely defends our freedoms and says in one voice, across generations, religions, races, gender identities, and nations of origin: We are all Americans, and we will not bow to kings.

Despite the threats and virulently un-American attempts to chill speech in the days leading up to Saturday, our numbers only grew. Two million MORE people hit the streets than in June. In Platte City, Missouri, No Kings exploded from 20 protesters four months ago to 550 yesterday. Stories like that poured in from every corner of the country.

Our pro-democracy movement is surging. Now it’s up to each of us to channel this incredible energy into the organizing power it will take to win.

Join us on Tuesday night at 8pm ET/5pm PT for a mass call of movement leaders and activists to discuss what’s next.
Protests serve many purposes -- they change the narrative, they grow our movement, they show people reeling under the weight of the regime’s atrocities that they are not alone.

But a single day of protest -- even the largest single-day protest we’ve seen in our lifetimes -- will not overcome the fascist onslaught we face.

It’s going to take ongoing, strategic organizing -- exactly the kind of organizing Indivisible was created to foster -- to deliver us from tyranny.

That’s what Tuesday’s mass call is going to be about. You won’t want to miss it.

In solidarity,

NO KINGS bumper & window stickers, home made signs in our lawns or house windows.
Let's show all our citizens we're trying to save this Country by reminding them we don't
want a king in the Oval Office.

We also need to remind people our elected Rs are OK with dumpie destroying America,
making enemies out of our allies, and kissing Putin's ass and we need to vote as many
of them as possible out of office.

There's hundreds of designs out there and quite a few under $5 with free shipping.
Lot of inexpensive window stickers, think I'll order a dozen or so to hand out.

I see a couple of people in the "About Us" section of the web page.

I have to say, I'm deeply suspicious. I tend to listen to our elected Democratic leaders. I know they are legitimate. When you get a huge turnout of 7 million people like this, there's a big profit and clout hunger motive to contend with.

... Indivisible was formed by congressional aids many years ago. No way is this a front for money makers.

I hope I was clear about that by mentioning "clout." The question is who the leaders are, how they became leaders, and how they stay leaders.

There's a pretty good Wikipedia page on them. They look pretty legitimate to me. But, again, I'm very skeptical of how leadership is maintained. I'd also like to be sure that they coordinate with our elected leaders.

If they're smart, they'll start bimonthly protests after the holidays, protests that will get larger as the weather warms.

When the protests get big enough, maybe they'll start talking strikes.

People will have to be damned desperate to consider strikes. If these monumentally stupid plutocrats keep insisting on their monumentally stupid tariffs to pay for their monumentally stupid and cruel tax cuts, that will happen.

Signing up will mean having to agree to receiving tons of text messaging emails Etc I can't do that. I'd love to join in the meeting however without having to sign up.

I was looking through Indivisible for the links but I'm not finding them right away.

I do want to note the resource page.

https://indivisible.org/campaign/resource-library

Pretty awesome.

This looks like the archive. I'll update if not.
