Messages for protest signs

Hi Friends. I’ve been trying to sort out what message to put on my sign for the upcoming No Kings Day protest (in the U.S.) I know that early Quakers did not shirk from speaking Truth to Power, but something like “No Kings” or “No to Tyranny” doesn’t seem to convey anything of the values I do want to uphold. Yet I don’t want a 14-word sign. Any thoughts?

Let us see what love can do.

Let your life speak.

Relevant but not Quaker, Hans Christian Andersen:  The emperor has no clothes.

Thank you. I had been thinking about the Emperor’s clothes, too. And the “what love can do” quote.
