Are you participating in a nokings.org rally on Saturday, 10/18? Here are some helpful tips to get your messages across in safe, peaceful, and joyous ways.

NO KINGS
Top 10 Rally Reminders
Lead with Love, Not Anger.
Focus your energy on what you stand for, not what you stand against. Anger fades;
compassion lasts.
Look Out for One Another.
Offer water, a smile, or friendly chat to someone nearby. Check on families, elders, and people with mobility needs.
Smile and Greet Others.
Say hello, wave, or share a word of encouragement. Small acts of friendliness build community trust and lower tension.
Celebrate Families and Kids.
Keep the atmosphere family-friendly, and invite children to join in with chants and songs-joyful ways to express civic pride.
Lift Your Voice with Positivity.
Joy is contagious. The more you smile, sing, and stay grounded, the safer and stronger everyone around you feels.
Keep It Clean and Respectful.
Leave our rally space as beautiful as you found it-or better. Treat it with respect, care, and gratitude for peace.
Make Your Sign Speak Peace.
Choose messages that uplift-creative, clever, values-based signs draw attention without aggression or profanity.
Be Mindful of Words & Tone.
Speak with kindness, even when disagreeing. Avoid insults, sarcasm, or chants that demean others.
Model Nonviolence in Every Action.
If confronted, breathe, stay calm, and step back. Do not engage or argue, alert a Guardian in an orange vest.
Carry Joy Beyond the Rally.
After the event, share stories, photos, and reflections that highlight unity and courage-show the world what peaceful power looks like.

The GOP that gave us the Jan 6 terrorist attack is now claiming the No kings rally is a "hate" America rally. Well when fascists are calling you names, you are doing the right thing.

The DoJ wants states’ voter data, a MAGAt now owns Dominion, SCOTUS may further gut the Voting Rights Act, a 2020 election denier now holds a gov’t “election integrity” post, Trump may invoke the Insurrection Act, and we still don’t know how Elon affected the 2024 election. So we’re doing great.

With the Radio Free Europe 2025 EP arriving in record stores this Friday (and @RFE.RL's mission still as vital as ever), we’re revisiting our We Are Hope Despite the Times playlist — a collection of songs that offer a little light through the static.

I will cut adrift—I will sit on pavements and drink coffee—I will dream; I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim—this fine October.

I wonder if Mike Johnson is going to try to dissolve Congress to keep it from voting on the Epstein files.
