#NoKings is about defending the ideals they fought for. This country doesn’t belong to strongmen. It belongs to the people.
That’s why we say: No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.

💰 He’s spending our money while slashing our services. Donald Trump is spending $100 million of our tax dollars, all while Republicans claim there’s no money for Social Security, SNAP, or Medicaid. #NoKings #SouthBayLA #Torrance

June 14, 1775 marked the birth of the U.S. Army—a force created to stand against tyranny and unchecked power. Now, 250 years later, that legacy is being distorted. President Donald Trump plans to commemorate the Army’s anniversary with a taxpayer-funded military parade in Washington, D.C.—on his own birthday. This **$45 million spectacle** isn’t just about the military; it’s about glorifying one man. Trump has made flirtatious comments about seeking a third term, hinting at constitutional workarounds, though he officially claims he’ll be a two-term president. Regardless, the ambition is clear—and dangerous. This isn’t how democracies are supposed to work. **On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings.** NO KINGS is a National Day of Action and mass mobilization. Check out nokings.org for more information. His administration continues to dismantle democratic norms: - Immigration authorities have fast-tracked deportations, in some cases defying due process protections and alarming rights groups - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has launched an unfounded investigation into autism’s causes, reviving debunked theories linking it to vaccines—causing distress among scientists and disability advocates - Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) programs are under attack. For example, the NIH has withheld medical research funding for universities if they do not dismantle their DEIA initiatives. - Institutions like Columbia University and Harvard have faced federal funding cuts and pressure to suppress campus protests, raising serious concerns about free speech and academic freedom. - Trump’s proposed budget slashes education, Medicare, and Medicaid—gutting essential services while greenlighting a vanity parade. **South Bay LA** stands for truth over theatrics. Every peaceful protest is a defense of democracy and dignity. If you believe Trump has gone too far, this movement is for you. Join the South Bay community's rebuttal to Trump's show of undesired authoritarian power. Show that American pride is rooted in diversity, equity, inclusion—and the fundamental belief that people with disabilities are not broken, but that there is ability in every disability. 🚨**On Saturday, June 14th we are rallying at Torrance City Hall with a clear message: One Nation, Indivisible with Truth and Justice for All. #NoKings** 🚨 _**A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.**_
Fellow in a red hat kept trying to rile folks up at the #MayDay protest in #Torrance today by reading their signs and providing feedback, but mostly got pitying looks and shrugs from participants. Folks in the #SouthBayLA keep showing up in surprising numbers and I love it.
I didn't take pictures but the #HandsOff protest in #Torrance California was so much bigger than I expected. I'm glad I went.
