No Kings! ✊🏽😎🎉

Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action, but through sustained organizing in our communities.

That’s why this summer, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead.

Let’s build a force bigger than fear and louder than hate. Let’s get ready. Let’s get organized. Let’s stop Trump!!

The Kingian Nonviolence Book Club on Monday, August 11 at 6 PM EST is a discussion-based community series rooted in the principles and practices of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s philosophy of nonviolence. Rather than a formal course, this is an open forum for learning, reflection, and connection. Sessions will be monthly, facilitator-led, and theme-based — offering space to explore Kingian Nonviolence through books, articles, videos, and conversations that bring history into dialogue with the present.

This club is for anyone curious about nonviolence as a method for social change. Readings are encouraged but never required. Come as you are — even if you haven’t read the materials — and be part of thoughtful, spirited conversations that connect past and present struggles for justice.

Participants are welcome to join any session throughout the year. We aim to cultivate a reflective, welcoming community of learners, activists, pastors, and neighbors engaging with Kingian Nonviolence in our everyday lives.

This book club session's theme is Radical Love in Action and will be facilitated by TBD.
