Here’s a detailed look at the '''No Kings campaign''' and who's behind it:

==== - '''Indivisible''' is the main organizer, launching the No Kings “Nationwide Day of Defiance” scheduled for '''Flag Day, June 14, 2025''' ourmidland.com<ref>{{cite web|title=ourmidland.com|url=https://indivisible.org/statements/indivisible-and-partners-announce-no-kings-nationwide-day-defiance-flag-day-during|publisher=indivisible.org|access-date=2025-11-27}}</ref>. ====
* Under its umbrella, '''over 190 advocacy groups''' are partnering, including: - 50501 - American Federation of Teachers - Black Voters Matter - Common Defense - Declaration for American Democracy - Face the Music Collective - Fix Democracy First - Free Speech For People - National Action Network - People Power United - Public Citizen - Social Security Works - Stand Up America - The Beacon - Transformative Justice Coalition - Vote Save America, among others nbcbayarea.com<ref>{{cite web|title=nbcbayarea.com|url=https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/no-kings-protests-saturday-bay-area/3888982/|publisher=nbcbayarea.com|access-date=2025-11-27}}</ref>nokings.org<ref>{{cite web|title=nokings.org|url=https://indivisible.org/statements/indivisible-and-partners-announce-no-kings-nationwide-day-defiance-flag-day-during|publisher=indivisible.org|access-date=2025-11-27}}</ref>.

These groups coordinate local events, issue “know your rights” training and marshal training, and host strategic debriefs after the event nokings.org<ref>{{cite web|title=nokings.org|url=https://www.nokings.org/|publisher=nokings.org|access-date=2025-11-27}}</ref>.

==== - No Kings is organizing '''1,500–1,800 peaceful protests''' across '''all 50 U.S. states''', Puerto Rico, and parts of Canada and Europe facebook.com<ref>{{cite web|title=facebook.com|url=https://www.axios.com/local/chicago/2025/06/09/no-kings-june-14-protests-trump-parade|publisher=axios.com|date=2025-06-09|access-date=2025-11-27}}</ref>. ====
* The campaign positions itself as a '''grassroots democratic pushback''' against Trump’s proposed military parade on his birthday — a spectacle they deem authoritarian x.com<ref>{{cite web|title=x.com|url=https://indivisible.org/statements/indivisible-and-partners-announce-no-kings-nationwide-day-defiance-flag-day-during|publisher=indivisible.org|access-date=2025-11-27}}</ref>.
* They deliberately avoided a protest in Washington, D.C., instead choosing to emphasize '''local events everywhere else''' indivisible.org<ref>{{cite web|title=indivisible.org|url=https://indivisible.org/statements/indivisible-and-partners-announce-no-kings-nationwide-day-defiance-flag-day-during|publisher=indivisible.org|access-date=2025-11-27}}</ref>.

==== - Walmart heiress '''Christy Walton''' funded '''full-page color ads''' in ''The New York Times'' and other outlets promoting No Kings Day kentstreetcoalition.org<ref>{{cite web|title=kentstreetcoalition.org|url=https://www.facebook.com/groups/50501movement/posts/no-kings-june-14-nationwide-protests/1057024122701583/|publisher=facebook.com|access-date=2025-11-27}}</ref>. ====
* Her support was exclusively for '''media amplification''', not grassroots organizing or chain emails.

===== - No Kings is a deliberately organized, decentralized coalition of progressive and pro-democracy groups. =====
* Christy Walton is a financial advertising backer, not a decision-maker or organizer.
* The viral email (“Enter your zip code…”) is not part of her initiative or the official campaign—it likely originates from others, possibly distorting the movement’s messaging for fear-inflation.

Let me know if you’d like to explore more—like specifics on the ad content, local event planning, or how they coordinate operationally.
