No Kings and No War! Nationwide Day of Protest

Let’s show up together in resistance. (Click here for a list of protest locations and times.) 

The Trump Administration has turbocharged the trajectory of past U.S. administrations and legislators of both major political parties, who pass ever-growing military budgets at the expense of human needs. Our leaders are threatening and pursuing more armed conflict (continuing the devastation of Palestine, seeking war with China), and are becoming more and more repressive, threatening growing numbers of people. The 2026 U.S. military budget proposal is for more than one TRILLION dollars. That amounts to 62% of the entire discretionary budget Congress is trying to pass. If we add in the funding for deportations and detentions, for ICE and DHS, it comes up to 69% of the budget!  

No wonder we keep hearing “there’s not enough money for housing, health care, education, jobs, and climate!” U.S. militarism and repression continues despite communities across the U.S. seeking change–the kings of politics and business are making the rules instead of We the People. Click here to see the assessment from National Priorities Project on where our money could be better spent: https://www.nationalpriorities.org/interactive-data/trade-offs/
