Tell Speaker Johnson: Stop Lying About No Kings Protests

Millions of Americans peacefully took to the streets this weekend to say one simple thing: we reject authoritarianism. Yet instead of listening to the people he’s supposed to serve, House Speaker Mike Johnson smeared the nationwide “No Kings” protests as evidence of “a rise of Marxism in the Democratic Party.” That’s a lie meant to discredit a powerful act of democratic dissent.

On Saturday, nearly seven million people gathered across the country in over 2,700 locations to protest President Trump’s growing abuse of power. Families, veterans, students, and faith leaders came together in peaceful rallies filled with music, art, and hope — not hate. Even Speaker Johnson himself admitted the protests were “violent-free.” But in the same breath, he twisted their message to score political points and prop up a government shutdown his own party caused.

Tell Speaker Johnson: Stop lying about No Kings protests.

The “No Kings” movement isn’t Marxist — it’s American. It’s a collective demand that no one, not even a president, stands above the law. When Speaker Johnson dismisses peaceful protest as un-American, he’s attacking one of the most fundamental rights in our democracy: the right to speak out against tyranny.

We must make it clear that we won’t let our leaders demonize free expression or silence dissent. When millions of people march for democracy, they deserve to be heard, not smeared.

Add your name now to tell Speaker Mike Johnson: Stop lying about the “No Kings” protests and start listening to the people. We won’t be intimidated — and we won’t stop standing up for democracy.
