In America, we threw the monarch out, and our Constitution proudly invests sovereignty not in a king or a deity, but in ‘We the People.” FFRF is alarmed at the rapidity with which democratic and constitutional safeguards are being dismantled in the name of Christian nationalism or political opportunism. We are one of at least 200 groups around the country endorsing marches, rallies and demonstrations to reject corrupt, authoritarian policies in the United States.
June 14 is also Flag Day, and President Trump is co-opting it to hold a military parade in Washington, D.C., at the cost of at least $45 million in taxpayer money. This is clearly “intended to intimidate opponents and solidify his image as a strongman on our dime — we won’t stand by while that happens,” as national organizers explain.
The peaceful events are a continuation of the Feb. 5 “Hands Off” Day of Action — with the exception that no event will be held in D.C. to avoid any conflict. Along with planning anchor events in cities across the country, the Day of Action is designating a flagship event in Philadelphia, where the U.S. Constitution was created and signed.
We are at a dangerous juncture in our democracy, numbed by chaotic and unrelenting assaults on American ideals of equal justice under law, due process, rule of law and secular government. That’s why it’s imperative to keep speaking up and participating in events such as “No Kings” National Day of Action. As an FFRF member, you are part of a vital pro-democracy movement.
