Indivisibles,

With a few rallies and marches still ongoing, we can already say that No
Kings Day is one of the largest days of protest in American history. 

From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned
out to make clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. 

The protesters were peaceful, organized, and above all -- they were
brave. 

Trump has made no secret of his willingness to use force to crush dissent.
He’s got tanks rolling through DC and marines in Los Angeles where we’ve
all seen (and continue to see) police respond aggressively to peaceful
protests.

And on top of those authoritarian images, we awoke this morning to the
news of horrific political violence in Minnesota, where Democratic
Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were slain and Democratic Sen. John
Hoffman and his wife were wounded. 

It is a frightening time in our history. But in spite of that reality --
or rather, in response to that reality -- over five million people here in
the US, along with allies in cities from London to Tokyo, stood united
today in the belief that democracy is worth fighting for. 

[ [link removed] ]Please join us on Monday 8pm ET/5pm PT for a national call with No
Kings partners on how we continue that fight in the months ahead and build
off the energy and momentum of today’s protests. 

The scale of today’s mobilization cannot be overstated.

To get a sense of how much today’s protests eclipsed Trump’s birthday
parade, just do a search of virtually any US city on social media. The top
results are likely No Kings protests, with videos that show crowd sizes
that photos just can’t do justice. 

We’ve said that a massive, nationwide mobilization like today can change
the narrative, grow our movement, build our organizing muscles, and
deliver a jolt of courage -- something much needed after Trump’s recent
attempts to quash dissent with violence.

But a single day of protest -- even historically large protests like today
-- will not alone defeat the fascist takeover of our government. 

We need to ensure that the incredible organizing and inspiring courage of
today’s protests continue to spread. We need to do the hard work of
organizing those who turned out today and those who were watching into a
sustained, broad-based movement that’s prepared for the hard work that
comes ahead. 

[ [link removed] ]On Monday’s mass call we’ll discuss how we do that, with concrete
action steps to overcome authoritarianism. Please join us.

In solidarity, 
Indivisible Team 

P.S. – If you’d like to help support the momentous, essential work of
organizing all the new people who came into our pro-democracy coalition
today, [ [link removed] ]please consider chipping in.
