BOSTON SAYS NO KINGS!

“We’re wicked pissed. Wicked loud. Wicked united.”

Join us Saturday, October 18, as we take to the Parade Grounds of Boston Common!

There is no march — the entire event is happening at the Common!

We’re standing together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption of this Regime and saying with one voice — wicked loud —: “America has No Kings!”

Boston, we can’t stand by. We won’t back down.
We will be at the Parade Grounds of Boston Common (Beacon & Charles St), a historic ground for resistance and assembly, we will show what organized, peaceful, nonviolent people power looks like.This event is entirely taking place at the Parade Grounds of Boston Common — there is no march.

Freedom isn’t free, and neither are protests. Donate here.

Peaceful? Absolutely. Passive? Never.

Join the ACLU of Massachusetts, Indivisible Mass Coalition, Mass 50501, and partners from across the pro-democracy and pro-worker movement as we rise together. This is not a typical rally: learn how to get involved locally at our action tables, participate in creative resistance and enjoy entertainment on our main stage.

Boston is the birthplace of the American Revolution. No Kings is about defending that legacy — and stopping tyranny and authoritarianism in its tracks. This country doesn’t belong to strongmen. It belongs to us, the people. 💪 The power is in our hands.

OUR CALLS TO ACTION:

1. Protect our immigrant neighbors who are being profiled, threatened, and kidnapped. Join a community ICE watch group so agents know we are watching them, volunteer to assist with vital mutual aid, bond and legal needs, and stand out in solidarity at ICE offices. More information from organizations, including LUCE, MIRA, BIJAN, and Bearing Witness @ ICE in Burlington.

2. Fight with your dollars: Hit them where it hurts by boycotting corporations and billionaires that are doing Trump’s bidding. Don’t check out at the checkout; patriotic dissent happens everywhere! 

3. Hold your Reps accountable: Keep the pressure on and keep calling them out. Use the 5Calls app. Email and show up at their offices. If they can’t fix this, we’ll find others who will.

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
