No Kings Event Map: www.nokings.org/#map

Find one near you, write down the address and time, and head out tomorrow. (You don’t have to sign up for anything, all you need is the address).

Recommended that you bring a mask, hat, water and snacks. Safety Goggles or Glasses would also be a good idea if you have them.

Bring a sign or the US Flag if you have one.

For privacy reasons you may want to avoid bringing your phone, or place it inside a faraday bag (a really well sealed tinfoil pouch will work, and put it in airplane mode to avoid draining your battery) until you get home.

If you have a first aid kit, it wouldn’t hurt to bring it, just in case.

I will be there. I will be armed. I will carry a gas mask. I will carry water and medical for my compatriots. I will not start shit. I will fight back if it comes to it.

But you already have a king. This seems more apropos to pre election sentiments when your king stood at the pulpit and told everyone he would become a king if they dared to elect him. At this point you need to model your protest after the French.

🙋🏻‍♂️ Dumb question: What is being protested? What would the result of a “successful” protest be?

  There’s a short video on the No Kings site that explains what the protest is for.
  
  We’re protesting Trump and his use of authoritarian power against the will of the people. Such as:
  
  The kidnapping families off the street to deport them without due process (illegal)
  
  Illegally sending the National Guard and Marines to LA to stop peaceful protests against the will of the people and Governor
  
  Taking away Medicaid from hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom may die without it
  
  Making ICE into what is effectively Brown Shirts
  
  Persecuting his political enemies, journalists, and lawyers, who dare stand against him

I volunteered in my area for the safety team and it sounds like it’s going to be bigger than the Hands Off protest. We’ve only got about 6 on the team with an expected crowd size of 1500. Also heard about counter-protesters already planning to show up as well so I’m really hoping people are chill.

  I think these are going to be far bigger than planned. Trumps lil’ crackdown in LA put a spotlight on it. Trumps obviously in the wrong. I would expect these to be 10-15 x bigger than the hands off protests.
  
  I think we had maybe 2k in Honolulu?
  
  I expect SIGNIFICANTLY more

  I was gonna write “not sure what this has to do with technology, but fuck it, I’m upvoting anyway.”
  
  Maybe you should edit it to be a reminder not to take phones to the protest (or if you must, make it a burner phone and put it in a faraday cage).

  This is bad for the integrity of the community.
