✊ No Tyrants PROTEST March 28 — Global Day of Defiance
Detalles
On Saturday, March 28, Americans in Barcelona — together with concerned locals and citizens from around the world — will once again join millions across the U.S. and around the world in a coordinated day of action to say loud and clear:
### No Tyrants. The power belongs to the people.
The U.S. Administration continues to escalate its attacks on democratic norms: undermining civil rights and social protections, manipulating voting rules for political gain, threatening free speech, targeting vulnerable communities, and concentrating power at the top.
This isn’t just politics. It’s democracy versus dictatorship —
and together, we choose democracy.
### 📣 Join us in Plaça Sant Jaume at noon for a peaceful, powerful protest featuring:
- Inspiring speakers, headlined by Reed Brody — international human rights lawyer and former New York State Assistant Attorney General
- Music
- Information on how to take action from abroad — including volunteers on hand to help Americans register to vote
🌍 All nationalities welcome - bring your friends, family, classmates, and colleagues.
☀️ Rain or shine - we’ll be there. Bring your SPF, a hat, or an umbrella just in case.
🪧 Bring a sign that expresses your voice - we will also have some extras to share.
⚠️ PLEASE NOTE ⚠️
As SPAIN is a monarchy and does have a king, Democrats Abroad Barcelona will NOT be using the "No Kings" language, and we kindly ask that you please NOT bring signs with that phrase.
### 🔊 Turn Up the Volume on Democracy
At our last protests, with 200+ attendees, our sound system wasn’t strong enough for everyone to hear. We're raising funds for a better system so every voice carries across the plaza.
Donations will also help us provide reflective vests for our safety marshals, print handouts, and support ongoing Get Out the Vote (GOTV) efforts like phonebanking and voter registration.
We’re all volunteers in DA, but our tools and materials aren't free. Please consider donating today to power our protest and organizing work.
