Today, I had the incredible opportunity to speak in person with several hundred organizers and movement leaders from across the country — a packed room of grassroots energy and strategic brilliance, brought together by Indivisible (pictures coming soon).
I hope they mention the plan for everyone to sit if “ plants / posers“ come in to create chaos and violence. This way they can’t hide in the crowd. Police will be able to see those that are responsible
We used to train folks for peaceful protests by showing participants how to identify a provacetur..... .alert Police and peacefully surround a troublemaker until support arrives.
INDIVISIBLE offers training hosted by local groups all over the country in person and zoom; there is one hosted by my local group by zoom this week, Thursday. We need to grow up, America. Each of us has a computer in our hand.
Sorry -- but only peaceful protest in great numbers will get us to the other end of this shitty tunnel. And part of participating in a peaceful protest is KNOWING HOW TO NOT BE INCITED. Trump it appears has replaced ICE with J6ers whom we all know are basement dwelling cowards in uniform; remember grade school -- remember?
What did you do -- you formed a large group and ignored them. You stayed on the playground, but they got nowhere because you united and then ignored them. I know it is not easy; but if you find it hard then stay home.
We don't need violence -- take some training and get on board or get out of our way. The violence if incited state to state will lead to martial law. I'm sure Trump wants this done by Saturday, but he'll get it done unless you decide he will not. Up to you. I'm old. This is your future not mine.
these are protests planned and coordinated by INDIVISIBLE in concert with local groups -- the local groups host meetings to go over strategies such as you described -- I find they are very well organized and the leadership is very present and engaged with the protestors -- I recommend anyone who is afraid to walk thru the fear by taking action and once moving in action courage rises and then when you find your smiling joyous tribe joining them will be an organic experience and one you will NEVER forget -- but if frozen in fear then stay home if you are afraid -- for whispering fear is the worst thing anyone of us can do at this time better to be silent and do whatever is most comfortable for you -- take care
The suggestion to sit down is for those that might spontaneously join. More people are becoming more aware of what our protests are about and why they are happening.
I am registered in 2 local protests and they are already putting out guidelines about being peaceful. They have highlighted what to do if anyone, especially MAGA agitators, try to sabotage and discredit the movement.
Go to: https://www.fiftyfifty.one/events and find an interactive map of all events that they know of. You can enter a zip code or street/town address, or simply zoom in to the dense blue dots which cover MA. Right outside of Boston:
Wellesley, Newton, Brookline and more; MetroWest: Natick , Sudbury, Franingham and more; Worcester area has several, Springfield area, and western MA. Also north and south shores. Is that enough!?! Yay Massachusetts!
Scituate, Plymouth, Waltham and many more. I find a google is an easy way as we get close to a date such as "Protest in Scituate June 14" or "Is there a protest in (CITY NAME) June 14?"
There will also be protests across the globe being organized by the people of our allied nations in support of YOU in support of what they see as extraordinary and brave and good and formidable AMERICANS! Everyone is coming out that day including the Ameridan Pope who will be in his home state holding a Mass.
t's our party so we need to show up for goodness' sake don't you think? What is more important than the maybe four to at most six hours if you need to commute a bit taken from one day in the year to topple and further weaken an autocrat?
Ukraine kicked Trump's ass today as well as Putin. THANK YOU, UKRAINE for the Regime of Trump due to your great feat today is primed for a fall. We can take it on and win if we employ the 3.5% SOLUTION which means at minimum, we need TEN MILLION OF US out and united together on that day peacefully protesting. Sign up! Show up! Recruit heavily!
I plan to stream Pope LEO's thing, since I don't have any protests near me. Seems like the thing to do, right? AND everyone should stream it, even if you are not home, to give Leo credit over the turd.
Calling and writing Congress is more valuable than anything. Sorry you don't have a local "tribe" -- I am south of Boston and glad to have two groups that are linked to INDIVISIBLE and NO KINGS. I am on their mailing lists, so I get informed about rallies, protests, meeting up at local Panera to write postcards and even virtual meetings. Do what you can that's all we can do. I don't blame you for not wanting to drive 2.5 hours to Chicago. I am sure you are doing all you can do. Being here and adding to our numbers has great impact. So glad to have you and everyone here to check in on after work and sometimes before I set out to work -- and we will prevail!
I have been writing my Senators weekly! Thank you!
I'm very rural. I'm really not interested in driving over an hour to find a protest. My child is disabled, making is difficult to travel. I keep doing what I have been!
He's not coming to Chicago he's going to video conference in however the cardinal planned this day weeks ago before the pope was placed. I live here and yes it was planned
Streaming or whatever. The Pope is coming to Chicago! And the tickets were sold out quickly! An event for which the backdrop will be America, not Rome hosted by an American Pope who if he could be most certainly would be holding a sign and standing alongside you righting what is wrong right now in this country on June 14th!
Every Democrat in Congress needs to commit to attending a No Kings Day protest in their district. They need to be out there with us, without exception.
Just more liberal name calling and labeling. There is no king, just a duly elected president acting on behalf of those who elected him, as well as those who didn’t who aren’t radical, and not foreigners and enemies of America.
So I guess you support not using Habeus Corpus like they have and detaining US citizens with SS numbers bc they are not white and are speaking Spanish? I guess you are also for him projecting him like a king as his did on his AI image. His administration is tied up in courts bc a lot of things are unconstitutional. You keep your eyes closed until it affects you or your loved ones. Then maybe you will see.
You will find protest locations all over the country and in fact there are plans for protests across the globe in support of the Americans protesting on June 14th. Even the Pope is "coming to America" on that day and it is not by chance. WWW.NOKINGS.ORG
Yes, there are protests scheduled in the Los Angeles area on June 14, 2025, which includes Hollywood. Specifically, the "No Kings" protest, organized by groups like **Indivisible Hollywood** and neighbors from across LA, is planned to take place at the **Los Feliz Triangle (N Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027** from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM PT. This protest is a nationwide action against President Trump's planned military parade and authoritarian strongman politics. The organizers emphasize a commitment to nonviolent action and ask participants to come prepared with signs and friends.
I’ll be cheering you on from afar, San Jose’s in good hands. And yes, flood the feed with Obama photos… let’s remind folks what dignity looked like. 📸✊🇺🇸
Hopefully, millions of americas will go to those protests. If not, we're doomed. Look what South Koreans did, they oust their fascist president, look at Europe, they're known to come out in the millions in the streets. Wake up AMERICA wake the f***k up!
My friends always fully commit around the country. There has to be millions that come out not a few thousandsbut millions! Then they'll see that we the people are serious about our freedom, civil, human, and constitutional rights! If only a few thousands show up they're going to most likely say, oh, those are just some liberal outlier troublemakers, but when millions show up, they'll see we Love America 🇺🇸 and we love our constitutional rights and we do not want a Authoritarian government.
I won't miss this protest come, rain, storms, tornados as it is extremely important for Tramp to get the message and that we will never pledge allegiance to him.

Thanks for this!
Not sure which one. I haven’t figured Substack out yet.

So protests are going to be everywhere. No one except the MAGA extreme is paying attention to Trump's parade.
There will also be protests across the globe being organized by the people of our allied nations in support of YOU in support of what they see as extraordinary and brave and good and formidable AMERICANS!

I looked. No protests near me. Some of us live very rural, very rural towns. I'm not interested in driving over 2.5 hrs into Chicago.
One poster offered the link to the visibility brigade. I checked it out and they have a directory to see if any groups are near you for engagement:

I am in podunk CO - I know of protests I could drive to, but prefer not to drive too far. But love the idea of joining Leo's stream online!

Dignity that is anti-mother. Yeah, I see.
Yes Obama Appreciation Day 👍🏽🇺🇸💙
Yes! Added bonus – Trump 'hates' Obama.
Protest if you can!!! SO important!!!
Try voting and contacting your representatives. You know, REAL democracy, not foreign funded advocacy.
I will be protesting in Rapid City SD. Never protested in my life. But I am now at the age of 72. Thanks for all you do Aaron.
I will be protesting in Jacksonville, Al. A lot of us are dressing up as clowns. My one is joining me
Dressing up as clowns. Guess you’re going as yourselves then
nah, just trying to remind everyone that when you invite clowns into the White House, you get a circus....
Oh look. A pick me girl has entered the room. How cute, they can't stay out of dem spaces.
I'll be protesting in Florida.
Ohio is going!
Hopefully, millions of americas will go to those protests. If not, we're doomed. Look what South Koreans did, they oust their fascist president, look at Europe, they're known to come out in the millions in the streets. Wake up AMERICA wake the f***k up!
Commit to dragging your friends along with you!!
My friends always fully commit around the country. There has to be millions that come out not a few thousandsbut millions! Then they'll see that we the people are serious about our freedom, civil, human, and constitutional rights! If only a few thousands show up they're going to most likely say, oh, those are just some liberal outlier troublemakers, but when millions show up, they'll see we Love America 🇺🇸 and we love our constitutional rights and we do not want a Authoritarian government.
Will be protesting in WA! 🇺🇸
Protesting in San Diego!👍
I won't miss this protest come, rain, storms, tornados as it is extremely important for Tramp to get the message and that we will never pledge allegiance to him.
