Dear MoveOn member,
When the Trump-appointed Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair signaled threats to ABC to take “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air and ABC gave in by suspending the program, millions of us came together and took action to defend free speech and demand they reinstate Jimmy Kimmel's show. And in just days, something incredible happened: We won.1
This past week reminded us who really holds the power—not corporations, not the Trump administration, but we the people. It reminded us of what we can accomplish when the masses are organized and sing a unified demand. And we can't stop here.
On October 18, we have an opportunity to harness all the energy over the past week and peacefully join together across the country for the No Kings national mobilization. As the Trump administration continues to steamroll our freedoms, we must build on the momentum of this moment and sing together: No crowns, no thrones, no kings!
Will you RSVP to a No Kings event on October 18 near you now? If you already registered, thank you! Please invite a few friends to join you.
With over 1,700 events already planned, this No Kings is set to be even bigger than the first, and that's exactly what we need right now—to show our movement is growing as we bring new people into the fold. Check out the map to find an event near you! You can zoom in on the map to find your event or type your zip code into left corner.
The Trump administration is weaponizing the federal government to punish anyone who speaks out against them or their agenda. They've come for politicians, organizations, universities, activists, and now comedians. And it won't stop there. They are abusing their powers to stifle dissent and attack our freedoms, hoping they can intimidate us into submission.
But on October 18, we will show that we are not afraid and will not passively watch our rights be stripped away. And we still believe in a future where everyone has quality health care, education, housing, and more, as well as the freedom to be who they are and dissent without punishment.
A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action and no civil disobedience. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
Please RSVP to join a No Kings event in your community. And feel free to forward this email too! Together, we will peacefully and powerfully come together to reject Trump's power grab and remind this administration where the true power lies: with us.
Thanks for all you do.

Dear MoveOn member,
On June 14, people across the country came together in the largest day of protest in our nation’s history for No Kings Day. And in just a few weeks, we are going to make history again.
RSVP here to join a No Kings protest on October 18, and help make it the largest day of peaceful actions in our country’s history.
Since June, Donald Trump has ramped up his authoritarian agenda, wreaking havoc on our lives. He signed legislation giving the wealthiest people in our country the largest tax cut in history while cutting health care for 17 million people. He sent federal forces to occupy our nation’s capitol while threatening to invade cities across the country despite opposition from city and state leaders. Immigrants continue to be kidnapped by masked agents and deported with no due process. And so much more.
Trump is on a mission to consolidate as much wealth and power as possible while bulldozing our freedoms, security, and well-being. He believes his rule is absolute. But we say otherwise.
That’s why MoveOn is joining together with coalition partners for another peaceful No Kings national mobilization on October 18. RSVP now.
Events will take place in every state and in thousands of cities and towns—big and small—across the country. Our goal is that our nonviolent collective action will be even bigger than the last. But we need your help to make it happen.
There are already hundreds of events registered.
Will you check to see if there is one near you? RSVP now to get this on your calendar and receive updates from the organizers. If you don’t see an event near you, you can host one or stay tuned because more are being added everyday!
Our movement is growing. No Kings in October is another opportunity to invite millions of Americans who are watching our nation slip into authoritarianism to collectively gather peacefully in the streets and show once again where the real power lies—with the people.
And this is not just a one-day event. Organizers are working hard to bring event attendees into our movement for sustained action to hold this administration accountable and block its fascist agenda.
We hope you sign up to be a part of this anticipated, historic day. You can find an event near you and RSVP here.
Thanks for all you do.
