BOYCOTTS - Protesting by itself is not enough.

The corporations and oligarchs that support Trump only speak one language: MONEY.

So, let's send a message they can't ignore.

The most powerful boycotts are planned and targeted.​

The Trump administration just declared that erecting a ballroom is the President’s main priority.

Meanwhile.

The cost of living is way too high and the Republican healthcare crisis threatens millions of Americans.

We cannot and will not allow these attacks on our freedoms to stand uncontested.

The administration continues to escalate its attack on our rights and the rule of law. In late September, the president authorized the use of tear gas and other “non-lethal” munitions against peaceful protesters (1) legally exercising their right to free speech in Portland, Oregon. Last week, ICE carried out a full-force raid on U.S. citizens’ homes in Chicago without warrants.(2) And on Friday, they began targeting immigrant children as young as ten.(3) It’s getting frighteningly real. As a trans woman, I feel particularly vulnerable when the Donald calls transgender people the “biggest domestic public safety threat.” The Heritage Foundation now labels anyone who supports us as a “domestic terrorist.”(4) The creator of the trans flag, like nearly half of respondents to a poll conducted by Williams college in May, is fleeing the country.(5) If the spending bill had passed, hundreds of thousands of transgender Americans could have lost access to hormones, without which many would not survive.(6) We cannot and will not allow these attacks on our freedoms to stand uncontested. On October 18, we come together across Vermont to speak truth to power, defend our communities, and reclaim our democracy from the cruelty and corruption threatening it. MAKE YOUR PLANS FOR 10/18: Find an event near you: 50501vermont.com/events No event in your town? Start one: nokings.org/host-toolkit Across Vermont, nearly 40 towns are already organizing, from Brattleboro to Burlington, from Barre to Bennington, joining a national wave of peaceful resistance. Together, we can help the country reach the “3.5% threshold” that research shows always leads to real change. In America, we don’t have kings. We will not back down from chaos, corruption, or cruelty. “No Kings” is more than a slogan - it’s a promise to each other. SUPPORT THE MOVEMENT: Donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/50501vermont Grab a t-shirt: marchmerch.com/collections/50501-vermont OUR COMMITMENT TO NONVIOLENCE All No Kings events are rooted in peaceful, lawful action. We ask everyone to act with compassion and discipline, to de-escalate and not to provoke, and to leave all weapons, even legal ones, at home. We show our strength not through force, but through courage, truth, and unity. Together, we rise.
