TWIN CITIES, MN – In the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in U.S. history, at least 8 million people gathered today at more than 3,300 events across all 50 states, and almost every continent. The third No Kings saw more than one million more attendees and 600 more events than the October mobilization. From major cities to rural towns that have never seen mobilizations like this before, protesters made clear that in America, we don’t do kings. Nearly half of No Kings events today were held in traditionally “red” or battleground states. This is what it looks like when a movement grows – not just in size, but in reach, in courage, and in more people who see themselves as part of this movement. The American people are fed up with this administration’s power grabs, an illegal war that Congress and the public haven’t approved, and the continued attempts to stifle our freedoms. We’re not waiting for change; we’re making it. TOP MOMENTS FROM THE DAY: Groups organizing the No Kings nonviolent protests across the country include ACLU, American Federation of Teachers, Common Defense, 50501, Human Rights Campaign, Indivisible, League of Conservation Voters, MoveOn, National Nurses United, Public Citizen, SEIU, United We Dream, among others.
