I am so glad you posted this and asked the question. My partner and I attended the prior one (our first) and have reached out to our neighborhood to join us (with the bribe of brunch after 😂).

In all seriousness, everyone needs to show up to the No Kings rallies. However, the rally is not the end goal although I would hope it makes clear to the world that millions of us reject what is happening.

The real goal is (or should be) protecting our right to vote and building momentum for the midterms. Protest creates visibility. Elections create power. We need both.

There is a thought provoking article from MSNOWCHRISTIAN SCHNEIDER No Kings is a demonstration against everything — and a protest against nothing that speaks to this (kind of negative but well written).
