Stuff to Do 6/16 edition addenda

| WHAT’S NEXT |
I figured there’d be more, so here we go. All of this is provided by the No Kings coalition from a follow-up email to Monday’s call.
There is a lot to do and what follows is a good start!
No Kings is a coalition of organizations who came together to organize the five million strong No Kings Day. All of these organizations are leading incredible work pushing back on the Trump administration’s march toward authoritarianism. Here are some ways in which you can plug into that work right now: |
Indivisible’s Stop the Cuts Action Page: Congress is threatening to gut funding for essential programs like Medicaid, SNAP, education, and climate. Use Indivisible’s tools to demand your Member of Congress stop the cuts. |
Stand up America’s No Contempt Clause Letter Writing: Tell your Members of Congress to reject dangerous legislation that would shield officials from accountability. This bill strips Congress of its power to enforce subpoenas -- take action to defend checks and balances. |
Common Cause’s The People’s Promise: Write a letter to the editor, join a phonebank, or share your story to support a People’s Promise that fights for all of us. Multiple ways to engage each week -- pick the tactic that works for you and build momentum together. |
Public Citizen’s Disappeared in America: Host or attend an action on June 26 to highlight the human cost of immigration raids and disappearances. Lift up local stories and demand humane immigration policies through powerful, decentralized events. |
Medicaid: Stop the Cuts Phonebanks: Join us for a national phone bank to Medicaid recipients to urge them to call their Senators ahead of the upcoming budget vote that would take away trillions of dollars of support and assistance from everyday people. |
Invest in the Long Term |
Every individual action we take, from going to a rally to calling our representatives, makes a difference. But the biggest impact we can make is through building the capacity to keep this movement strong for the long term by growing the movement. Now is the time to find yourself an organizing home (or multiple homes).
If No Kings Day proved anything, it’s that we are stronger together. Join these incredible movements as they continue to build toward a brighter future. |
One Million Rising: One Million Rising is a national effort to train one million people to help lead in this moment and gain the skills to lead others. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us -- and lead. |
League of Conservation Voters -- Connect With State Affiliates: Tap into the League of Conservation Voters’ network of 32 state affiliates to take action on climate justice and democracy protection. Whether you want to register voters, volunteer, or get more involved locally, this is your entry point. |
ACLU -- Popular Education Training Series: Join a virtual training series focused on relational organizing, storytelling, and shifting public opinion through popular education. This is a great entry point for organizers who want to build skills and grow their local base. |
50501 -- Civic Resistance Crash Course: Join this crash course in nonviolent resistance to learn fast, effective ways to show up and fight back. Designed for new activists and seasoned organizers alike -- come build your skills and confidence. |
Indivisible -- Find Your Local Indivisible Group: Whether you’re new to activism or a seasoned leader, there’s a place for you in this people-powered movement. |

No Kings Day was a beautiful moment where we gathered with one voice and let the world know: We don’t do kings. But this isn’t a moment, it’s a movement. That means we need to commit to the continual work of ending fascism and molding this country to fit its ideals.
You are not alone. There is a place for you beside us. Get back out into the streets, take action today, and find your organizing home. We will make a difference.
We’re in this together, The No Kings Team |
