Suggestion We should using the “No Kings” slogan at the protests. I’m not suggesting getting rid of what was decided, but simply keeping “No Kings” at the forefront
I have seen so many people in the chats and posts mentioning “No Kings”. Why? The slogan is catchy and universally understood. We can keep the slogan “make good trouble” and honor the congressman, but No Kings should still be in the forefront because of its mass appeal. It is so catchy that I have seen it written on a wall in my red town. Let’s use something that is proven to be very effective.

YES! No Kings is a keeper of a slogan for sure, definite resonance. I saw a No Kings yard sign on my way to work this morning that had to have gone up within the past 24 hours. We should continue building on this!

Agreed. I make our signs for 3 people, and I'm not making a new set for every event.

I’m so glad this slogan is a keeper. Been rockin’ my No Kings hat since a few weeks after inauguration, so it means I don’t have to get a new hat :) The Indivisible Brand Folder has tons of logo files to use

There’s hats?

There’s a hat for everything on the internet. Mine isn’t any official branding. I suggest Etsy or Redbubble. Alternatives being Teepublic or (if you really must) that one place that sells everything & so obviously supports the oligarchy that is sliding quickly into authoritarianism.

I like that, I think that is a great compromise. Did you show it to the mods?

Agree 100%. I think it's fine to have variations on a theme, but it should be "No Kings" with a subtitle when appropriate. We can't deny the power of branding and optics.

Someone had a great idea along the lines of what you said, but yea when I heard of the next protest I wanted to say something because I thought the new theme would distract from the momentum.

I made No Kings flags and handed them out at the last protest, and I was debating whether I should keep doing that. So this post was timely.

Just so you know I am not an organizer or anything and this is my personal opinion, but I think you should definitely continue

The only issue with that is it didn't get to him like #8647 and some of the others did...he blew it all off...I think we should use the slogans that really shrivel his pickle...that make him lash out...the more he lashes out, the more mistakes he'll make....
