The No Kings Alliance: The Rapid Response Arm of the Movement
We need to evolve. Here’s how.
Successful movements against authoritarians don’t stop after a series of historic protests - they grow, learn, and adapt their tactics. This regime is dominating media institutions, universities, businesses, and political opponents. Who is going to rally to their defense? Who is going to push back against capitulation before it’s too late? The No Kings Alliance is. And you should be part of it.
This isn’t a replacement for your current organizing home - it’s an effort to coordinate across the full breadth of our movement on shared rapid response tactics to confront the regime in real time. There will be more mass protests in our future, but before that, there will be authoritarian overreach to defend against…and quickly. It’s going to get worse before it gets better, and we’re the ones who are going to make it better.
What we do will change week to week. Boycotts? In-person action? Creative targeted tactics? Social media pressure? There are a lot of tools in our toolbelt - and the millions of us who are leading No Kings have a lot of toolbelts. We will keep the heat on the regime itself and the corporations, billionaires, and institutions that bankroll it, normalize it, or stay silent in the face of it. Because authoritarianism doesn’t stand alone. It stands on people who look away, cash in, or give cover.
The No Kings Alliance is simple: make it impossible for anyone — in power, in profit, or in denial — to quietly capitulate.
