Protests aren’t for everyone. If you can’t attend, subsidize the protest! Sponsor a seat on a community bus, offer to taxi friends, help with sign making, or shop at sympathetic businesses. (Tell them why!) There are lots of ways to support participation, even if you can’t attend the protest Sunday. Click through for more inspiration.

Look for three humorous or inspiring stories about resistance today, or find a protest sign from an earlier event that speaks to you. Verify, then share them. There is a widespread idea that Americans aren’t doing anything, but in fact we’re everywhere, every day, creatively resisting. It’s up to us to get the word out.
You have your protest sign…but do you have your protest outfit? From t-shirts to pins, wear something that takes the protest from the streets to wherever you go the rest of the day. Visit nearby businesses impacted by the protest and buy something. Tip well. If you have extra stickers or pins, pass them out to people who had to work and were sorry to miss the protest. Share protest energy wherever you go.
Change your social media images to posters or maps of No Kings III to help build awareness. Make this Saturday the thing people don’t want to miss — it’s ALL about the numbers. They can pretend it’s only a few people standing up to ICE or that a hundred protesters are being paid, but if we hit twelve million, we prove we’re the real America. Take a friend to the protest, and bring home a new activist.
No Kings III is March 28th. With more than 3000 events nationwide (and more around the world) it’s likely you have more than one option for attendance. Will you go to the huge one at a nearby capital, or drop by a smaller local event? With staggered times, you might be able to hit more than one! Check the nokings.org map and make a plan, then invite a couple of friends to join you.
