Robert De Niro Urges Americans to Join the ‘No Kings’ Protest

DE NIRO: “The original No Kings protest was 250 years ago, Americans decided they didn’t want to live under the rule of King George III. They declared their independence and fought a bloody war for democracy. We’ve had two and a half centuries of democracy since then, often challenging, sometimes messy, always essential. And we fought in two world wars to preserve it. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away, King Donald I. F**k that! We are rising up again this time, non-violently raising our voices to declare no kings. I’m Robert De Niro, asking you to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th. Visit nokings.org to find, volunteer or host a protest near you. We’re all in this together, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
