Making November 3rd The True No Kings Day

by Dr. John Warren

During the last two years, we have seen millions of Americans from all walks of life turn out to participate in the “No Kings Day” protest marches across this nation. The demonstrations have been against the illegal practices and activities of President Trump in violation of the Constitution and all democracy stands for. We have seen the United States Congress surrender its Constitutional authority to President Trump without question. We have seen people murdered by officials who called their actions all in the line of duty; we have seen American citizens arrested and placed in camps and deported in violation of their citizenship, the law and due process.

While the demonstrations in and of themselves made statements of protest, the President and his administration were basically unmoved, in most instances, because there were no forcible actions such moves could take against the White House. Trump has considered himself King and the United States Supreme Court has basically reinforced that position.

But November 3rd, 2026, the Midterm General Election is a day of reckoning if we just get out and vote. Our individual votes can do the following:

• Change the control of the U.S. House of Representatives by replacing those Republican members who rubber stamp the President’s illegal actions instead of providing oversight, checks and balances;

• At the local level, we must vote and ensure that candidates who support Donald Trump are not elected to office as they seek to implement his policies at the local level.

• Those persons running for School Board, City Council, Supervisor, Congress, State legislatures, and Governor must not get elected because some of us just refused to vote. The “my vote doesn’t count” excuse must end.  This is how we ensure “NO KING”; This is how we stop ICE, Deportations without due process, troops on our streets, and unauthorized military conflicts that put our nation’s security at risk.

If the millions of people who protested “No Kings Days” join those who are already committed to outvoting the Gerrymander Election Districts, over-

whelm the President’s efforts to stop the vote or intimidate voters, we can 

put an end to this would be King before the next two years of his term are up.

We the people, by getting out our vote and the votes of those around us can truly make November 3rd, 2026 No Kings Day and take back our lives; our jobs, healthcare, gas prices, food prices, housing, and guaranteed freedoms of speech and movement. Let’s be ready to vote and we won’t have to get ready. Let’s vote early and undermine the efforts to delay our vote on Election Day.
