“My heart swells as I think of the more than 7 million people who poured into the streets for No Kings rallies last Sunday. In every corner of our country, in more than 2,500 communities, people showed up to say they will not let authoritarians decide our fate or our future. From the tens of thousands who marched in New York and Chicago to the lone woman who stood on her streetcorner in Beckley, West Virginia with handmade signs and a broad smile for all to see, people are saying loud and clear we will not give in to tyrants or masked goons. ‘I think you need to show your face to your actual neighbors,’ said the West Virginian, Kendra Sullivan. ‘We’re just like everybody else: We are America.’ Like Kendra, these protesters share what People’s Action calls the spirit of Joyous Rebellion.” (10/26/25)
