Protestors are asked to wear the colour yellow to increase visibility and uniformity.
If you have extra yellow tape, clothes, or ribbons help distribute it to others. For example, you can cut old shirts and make arm bands or head bands. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

Turn off your Face ID and Touch ID if you are taking your phones to the protests. Keep it in airplane mode and use encrypted apps where possible. Protect yourself.

Sen. Sanders: No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings rally on Oct. 18 is not a hate America rally. It’s a Love America Rally. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in our Constitution, in the American Freedom, and who’s not gonna let you or Trump turn this country into an authoritarian society.
