James,

First Trump sent in the national guard to LA, then DC – and now he says Memphis is next.

Let’s be clear: this is Trump deploying the military onto the streets of our cities to scare us into submission. He claims it’s about stopping crime. We know better.

That’s why, on October 18, Our Revolution and our allies are organizing another MASSIVE No Kings Day of Protest. In June, our movement helped turn out 5 million people for the first No Kings Day event. This time, we need it to be bigger.

It’s not hypothetical anymore. Authoritarianism is here. We’re talking about armed soldiers outside our schools, workplaces, and grocery stores, marching through neighborhoods, and setting up checkpoints along city blocks.

It’s terrifying – but we cannot let fear win. Which is why on October 18 we will come together shoulder to shoulder to show Trump the massive resistance to his authoritarian takeover.

No Kings Day is about putting the power BACK in the people’s hands, not in Trump’s. If we stand together, we can build a wall of people too strong, too united, and too full of courage for any strongman to break.

We can’t let Trump’s authoritarianism define who we are. Not in Memphis, not in DC, not anywhere. If you believe in freedom, in democracy, in PEOPLE—not kings—add your support now. Let’s make history, together.

When we organize, we win.
