Upcoming "No Kings" Protest March Needs to Be a National Strike! [View all]

That would be "Good Trouble." What's this next national "No Kings" protest march supposed to actually accomplish? Why are we not having a national strike instead? If and until this is done, marches will not achieve any lasting positive result. It's just a feel good gesture. Follow Europe's lead on having a successful national strike. Power concedes nothing without demands.
.
What: Next national protest under the No Kings / 50501 banner

When: July 17, 2025

Why: Tribute to John Lewis on the anniversary of his death, carrying forward "good trouble"

Who’s organizing: The Transformative Justice Coalition and affiliated groups like American Constitution Society, Indivisible, Black Voters Matter, among others
