Subject: On Oct. 18, Join with Us to Say: No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.
Dear AFT Guild Members,
President Trump is escalating his authoritarian power grab—sending masked agents into our streets, targeting families, silencing voters, gutting healthcare and education, and handing out massive giveaways to billionaire allies while working families struggle.
We cannot stay silent or stay home. We must protect our kids and communities. That’s why we’re joining the No Kings Day of Action—rising up in every corner of this country to defend our freedoms, our democracy, and our future.
We need you with us on Oct. 18 at Waterfront Park, 1600 Pacific Highway, 10:00am.
At marches, rallies, vigils, and community gatherings, folks across America are raising our voices against the chaos, corruption, and cruelty coming out of Washington. We’re demanding safe schools, affordable healthcare, good jobs with fair pay, and a strong democracy where every vote counts and every person is valued.
We’re making it clear that we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. We refuse to stand by while this administration escalates its authoritarian power grab. Time and again, we’ve proven that when we fight, we win.
Join us at to show that in the United States, there are no thrones, no crowns, NO KINGS.
We hope you’re able to join us!
In Solidarity,
Jim
Jim Mahler, President
AFT Guild, Local 1931
