In America, we don’t have kings – it’s kind of our whole thing. 🚫👑

Millions turned out for No Kings in June— one of the largest protest days in U.S. history. On October 18th, we’ll be even louder, stronger, and we won’t stop here.

RSVP here:

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power…

Especially now, with this admin stripping away air, land, and water protection, dismantling agencies charged with overseeing those protections, and diminishing our national park system and trying to sell off mineral and forestry rights.

Maine is a special place, and our future depends on protecting it. I’ll fight for urgent climate action and defend the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, because strengthening these laws is more important than ever.

We have seen Democrats run against Senator Collins and lose, again and again and again. We have to start listening to our neighbors, who are simply not interested in the same old same old politicians. It’s time for something different. Please RSVP, and I look forward to meeting you.

Portlanders in Oregon have a great attitude in showing w/frog & other costumes how ridiculous this admin's claims are that protestors are violent terrorists.
