In America We Have No Kings

We Have No Kings.  The Power Belongs To The People.

Happy Friday, Activists!

 CALL TO ACTION

TELL OUR SENATORS - NO MORE DHS FUNDING

Without Meaningful Restrictions

1.  Let's Keep at it - Call And Tell Our Senators To Vote NO On More DHS Funding

One thing we know: Regardless of who leads DHS, Congress needs to act immediately to protect our communities from its most brutal agencies – ICE and Border Patrol. 

So we’ll ask you to send your Members of Congress a different email: Tell them to hold strong in the DHS funding fight and refuse to pass any budget that gives ICE and Border Patrol an additional penny or fails to place meaningful restrictions on Trump’s secret police force. 

Call our senators and demand they vote NO on the DHS funding bill until strict provisions are included.

Here are the contacts to call and write:

Sen. McCormick – Phila office 215-405-9660; D.C. office 202-224-6324; email link

Sen. Fetterman – Phila office 215-241-1090; D.C. 202-224-4254; email link

For outside PA:  Find your senators’ phone numbers and emails at this link.

NO KINGS 3!

Sign up here!

Let's make sure we get out and show this regime we are fed up with their lawless war, their lawless and cruel ICE abductions, their cutting off healthcare coverage, food to poor children, and more.  On March 28th we'll show that together we can overcome this regime's repression when we unite.  After all, the country belongs to us, the people!  Sign up here!

We will gather at City Hall starting at noon, start the march at 12:30 down the Ben Franklin Parkway and rally at about 1:15 at 22nd Street where there will be the stage and some music with a DJ.  Then a some exciting speakers.  And then (drum roll please) a dance party with an exciting musical group!  Sign up here!

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP

We need to fund our No Kings protest and we are grateful for everyone who has donated already.  Thank you!  But there's still a long way to go.  We are about three quarters to our goal of $55,000 so that we can pay for it.  Thank you for all your donations so far! 

Your support is crucial to make No Kings 3 a success and show in no uncertain terms that we stand against the authoritarian takeover of our government. We expect the crowd to be bigger than ever as we show our power against this regime. 

We have three two ways for you to contribute:
