Only Congress can declare war, not Kings

March 28 – Today is the day! If you haven’t already made a plan – just get out there and join one of the more than 3100 No Kings events happening TODAY, March 28.If you’re in California, Vermont, or a dozen other locations you can also join a Polluters Pay contingent to get free shirts, stickers and make friends with fellow fossil fuel fascist fighters!

See you in the streets!

No Kings no Oil-Garchy

Mar 21 update – In one week, on March 28th, we’re joining progressive allies from across the spectrum and across the nation for the next No Kings Day. There are now more than 3,000 events planned, and tens of thousands of people have already RSVPd – making it possible that this will be the largest single day non violent political demonstration in American history.

If you haven’t already, click here to find your No Kings event on March 28 and RSVP.

We’re also encouraging folks to organize Make Polluters Pay contingents at their local No Kings events. Dozens of Make Polluters Pay contingents are already organized – find yours here! Whether it’s his illegal wars for oil abroad, or his blatant acts of fossil fuel favoritism here at home, it’s never been clearer that this is a fossil fueled fascist regime. We need to show up and turn out to help everyone connect the dots between Trump’s lawless regime and the fossil fuel industry that props him up, and cashes in big on his every action.

I’ll be hosting a Make Polluters Pay contingent in Vermont! If you want to host one too, click here and then sign up to host a contingent. We’ll send out posters, stickers, and print and go signs for those of us who join us, so all you have to do is bring yourself and your voice!

And if you need a reminder about why we’re rallying to say No King, no Fascists, and No Oiligarchs on March 28, see our original message from a week ago below.

March 16 – Donald Trump and his fossil fueled fascist regime fancy themselves like the Kings of old – declaring war for conquest or any reason they want, anytime they please. But America does not have Kings. Only Congress has the power to declare war.

Unfortunately, an initial war powers vote that we told you about just after the war started, failed to pass either chamber of Congress. It was a party line vote, meaning that the problem remains with Trump’s fossil fueled fascist party as much as with the man himself. But it won’t be our last chance to stop this war or fight back (non-violently) agains the regime. We are expecting, maybe as soon as the end of this month, a vote on a $50 billion supplemental spending bill to fund further violence, militarism, and war in Iran and around the world.

And coming up in less than two weeks – on March 28 – millions of people will take to the streets as part of the next No Kings mobilization. This is what we need to get ready for, can you join us? Here’s how:

  1. Wherever you are and whatever your plans are, join us this Thursday, March 19, at 8pm ET | 5pm PT for the No Kings 3 kick off call.
  2. Make a plan to attend a No Kings event near you on March 28 – there are more than 1000 events already on the map and looking for help, volunteers, and RSVPs.
  3. Our coalition is dedicated to ensuring everyone attending a No Kings event has the tools and training they need to have a safe, secure, and nonviolent experience. Make sure you’re prepared for March 28th by attending an upcoming training.

As the war on Iran grinds on, American casualties are now in the double digits. Iranian casualties in the thousands. Global energy markets are in free fall with prices for everything from gas to groceries skyrocketing just as climate fueled extreme weather blankets the US from coast to coast to coast.

But every action this regime takes only strengthens the resolve of our movement because freedom is a spontaneous idea. Every day, in every city, town, school, job-site, and community new comrades are awakening to our struggle and preparing themselves to join our fight. No Kings is more than just a slogan—it’s our demand. And we refuse to stay silent while families in our communities are living in fear or struggling to survive—simply because Trump and his regime believe their power is absolute.

We’ll be coming together—virtually—for the official No Kings Kick-off Call on Thursday, March 19. Join us t hear from movement leaders, organizers on the ground, and special guests as we discuss the vision, urgency, strategy, and moral imperative behind this national day of nonviolent action.

Our country does not belong to fossil fueled fascists who rule through fear and violence. It belongs to the people. Don’t miss your chance to be in community with people, like you, who power our No Kings movement. RSVP today

    I so believe we all should have a voice when there is a cause to make our fellow citizens aware of our politicians are trying to manapolize our society for gains on their pocketbook and let the rest of society hinder the cost while they gain wealth.
