Now that the marches are coming to an end, do not stop. Continue the fight. Work within your communities to build communities. MAGA wants us to be divided, and we will not allow this. Build community and alliances and we can accomplish a lot.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Sometimes we have to figure out where we fight. I am an educator and a counselor. My fight is for liberatory counselor education and changing the way counseling is practiced. We must move away from pathologizing behaviors and become a more healing service. Let's stop dehumanizing our clients.
