What they’re saying

“'No Kings is about what is going on right now in this country and letting people know the majority of us aren't happy. We pay taxes, we vote, and we make it heard how we feel about this current president.'”

— Daniel Rodgers

“'There are Democrats, Republicans who are sick of the old man in the White House, Army veterans, truck drivers, educators, and there's a cop here because he doesn't want ICE covering their faces and badges here today. This is how you prevent a president who wants to be a king.'”

— Stephanie

“'Public service is about answering to the people, delivering results, and making their lives better. When leaders lose sight of that, they weaken our democracy. 'No Kings' symbolizes a call for accountability and a demand for change.'”

“'In America, we don't do kings — and people across this country are rising up to remind this administration that power belongs to the people.'”
