For the Love of Country: It’s About to Get Bigly

✊ Protest Loud. Protest Smart. Protest Safe.

This is a snapshot of protests currently planned for this weekend. (There are even more internationally!) Visit NoKings.org for the most up to date info and to find an event near you.

Whether you march every weekend, or you’re feeling the call for the first time—you’re not alone.

This moment in history has reawakened a lot of people. And for some of us, it’s not just us out there—it’s our teens, our siblings, our parents, our students. Maybe your kid asked to attend a protest. Maybe you’re organizing supplies while your partner heads to the front line. Maybe you’re the one making the sign, still debating if you’re brave enough to show up.

If you want to participate—or support someone who is—you deserve tools, not fear.

A Word of Caution: Stay Smart, Stay Peaceful 🚨

In past protests—across decades—there have been infiltrators sent into crowds to instigate violence, damage property, or provoke a police response. Their goal? To make peaceful protests look dangerous.

Now, as this weekend builds momentum, the president has made direct threats, claiming he may deploy Marines and that disruption “will be met with equal or greater force.” This kind of posturing is designed to intimidate and escalate.

Don’t fall for it. If someone near you is acting aggressively, encouraging destruction, or trying to spark confrontation—it may be intentional provocation. Sit if you can, film, and silently alert others nearby.

Let peace be your power. Let safety be your strategy. Let the truth be what echoes.

Before You Go: A Few Quick Reminders 📍

• Tell someone where you’re going. Share your protest location and estimated return time.

  
  

• Write a legal aid number on your arm in Sharpie if possible.

  
  

• Wear a mask, sunscreen, and closed-toe shoes.

  
  

• Bring water, snacks, and a backup phone battery.

  
  

• Know your rights. You do not have to answer questions beyond ID. You can film. You can say no to a search.

  
  

• Trust your gut. If something feels off—it probably is.
