What does a No Kings event that follows Buddhist ethics look and sound like? Right Speech and Right Action are good guidelines. The organizers' commitment to nonviolence is a great starting point.
Buddhism Basics #11: What is Right Action?
Right action emerges from right inner space, often with a sense of surprise. Like inspiration and flow, right action is not completely within your control. Nor is it found in your ego.
Right action is not merely cerebral, nor can it be forced through sheer will. It emerges from a delicate dance between surrender and collaboration. Between all that is within you, and all that is around you.
Are you welcoming this serendipitous alchemy in your life and work?
Richard Allestree was an Anglican minister, considers the whole duty of man. He says that charity is so broad that it is hard that it’s hard to cite every instance of it. He says we should be ready at any time to do any good. We should look at the opportunity as a call from Heaven.
Could God be talking to us this way all the time?

Henry Thoreau ( from Stephen Cope’s book the Dharma in Difficult Times) pg 68
“If the injustice is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong, which I condemn.”
