President Trump has acted as an authoritarian ruler since resuming office just over a year ago. His personal corps of ICE thugs has terrorized communities from LA to DC to Minneapolis.
He’s acted with impunity abroad, unilaterally deposing a foreign leader in Venezuela and threatening illegal takeovers of Greenland and Cuba.
And now the wannabe king has launched a reckless, unauthorized war of choice with Iran. In just three weeks, airstrikes have torn through neighborhoods, destroying civilian infrastructure and, most horrifically, a U.S. missile hit a girls’ school in Minab, killing over 150 children at their desks.
The majority of Americans oppose this war, and have since its beginning. 64% of Americans disapprove of how Trump is handling Iran. On Saturday, March 28th, we need to take to the streets and show the full scale of the Pro-Peace grassroots power.
In 2003, millions of people took to the streets in almost 3000 unique protests opposing the ill-fated war in Iraq. As of today, there are already more than 3,000 NO KINGS protests registered… and counting! It took nearly four years for the majority of Americans to oppose the War in Iraq. We already have that level of opposition today, and now we need to see those numbers pour into the streets!

When Trump launched his assault on Iran, we sought an immediate end to the war, urging Congress to pass a War Powers Resolution to force an end to hostilities. Although the vote failed, a surge of grassroots pressure led nearly every congressional Democrat to support the resolution.
Following the close votes on the War Powers Resolutions, we switched gears and began campaigning to block Congress from approving any new funding for the war. With a bumbling Trump advocating for an expanded and protracted war in Iran, halting new funding is crucial to prevent a repeat of the Iraq war and the death and destruction it brought about.
We continue to build public pressure on Congress to end this illicit war. Let’s turn the tens of thousands of emails and calls you’ve already made to their offices into hundreds of thousands of emails and calls over the coming days! Our team in DC will be meeting directly with our Pro-Peace allies to strategize on how to best bring this war to an end. We’re already working alongside a coalition of 250+ organizations that have denounced any further funding for Trump’s war. And on Saturday, March 28th we’ll pour into the streets, alongside millions of other Americans, to say “Not One More Dime For the Wannabe King’s War!”
President Trump is acting like an autocrat — abducting immigrants, occupying U.S. cities with troops, gutting healthcare and education, silencing voters, and launching unconstitutional wars with no authorization. It is clear: democracy itself is under siege.
Experience with authoritarian governments shows that visible, mass resistance works to inspire grassroots mobilizations that can slow down and ultimately topple authoritarian governments. Peace Action stands with this urgent movement — and we need your voice and presence now more than ever.
Will you join a No Kings rally near you?
Or, even better, start one in your community?
Maybe you don’t tend to go to protests. Or maybe you’ve never organized one. But this is a time where we all have to step up and do more, becoming more active before we lose more of our rights, and others lose their very lives.
On March 28th, millions across the country will gather with one clear demand: America belongs to all of US. No KINGS. No Crowns. No Autocrats. No War.
We hope to see you out there!
The Team at Peace Action
