A coalition of civil rights groups expects the turnout on Oct. 18 will be even bigger than the first nationwide protest held in June, which by some counts was the largest in U.S. history.

    Uhh citation needed. Nobody I know working on No Kings locally is pro-Democrat, pro-Israel, pro-cop, or anti-trans. I also don’t know of any leftists who had the cops called on them at a No Kings protest.

        generally protest organizers of any sort (like macy’s, easter, pride ) work with the gov and police- if the protest is to be legal. not that it has to be or needs to be legal (like dyke march.)

        A citation means “A source that says the thing that you were claiming” not just “A news article”.

        I’m not about to share with you the results of the latest dog show…

          It’s literally an article with the No Kings organizers bragging about working with the cops.

            That is only one of the four groups you boldly declared. And “working with” the police doesn’t mean supporting them. Support for police would be things like giving them extra firepower, granting them warrants, paying into their pension fund.

            You’re still zero for four.

              LoL. So now it doesn’t count if they sic the cops on leftists at the rallies, since they’re not contributing to their pension? Wild.

        Sorry, where does that say pro-Democrat, pro-Israel, pro-cop, or anti-trans? Working with cops to further the shared goal of non-violence for this event doesn’t mean one supports the system of policing. That’s like saying by voting, you support the system of first-past-the-post.

          You could try doing even the slightest bit of work to see who’s actually organizing this, and what they stand for.
