1️⃣ June 6 – “50501 Veterans: Defend the Constitution”
50 protests. 50 states. 1 movement.
On the 81-year anniversary of D-Day, veterans are once again taking the first beach. The grassroots #50501 network is staging simultaneous rallies at every state-capitol plaza plus a flagship march on the National Mall (step-off 2 p.m. ET, between the Washington Monument and the Capitol) Unite For Veterans Coalition.
The banner reads “Defend the Constitution,” and the mission is as plain as Omaha Beach sand: push back against executive over-reach, attacks on voting rights, and the Trump administration’s aggressive purge of federal-worker veterans. The organizers are unapologetically volunteer-powered – no dark-money PACs, no corporate sponsors. Their rallying cry: “50 protests, 50 states, 1 day.” 50501 Movement

2️⃣ June 14 – “NO KINGS: National Day of Defiance”
Flag Day ➜ Trump’s birthday parade ➜ America’s answer.
While Donald Trump rolls tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue for a personal loyalty pageant, more than 100 “No Kings” pop-up rallies will bloom everywhere he isn’t – courthouse steps, town greens, freeway overpasses. The drive is led by Indivisible, Black Voters Matter, Common Defense, Public Citizen, Social Security Works,Teachers’ unions and two dozen more pro-democracy partners. IndivisibleNo Kings
Organizers frame the day this way: “Real power isn’t staged in Washington – it rises up everywhere else… No thrones. No crowns. No kings.” IndivisibleNo Kings The action deliberately hijacks the news-cycle on Trump’s birthday and the U.S. Army’s birthday – turning a top-down military spectacle into a bottom-up civics lesson.

Why these two days matter
If you’ve been doom-scrolling and feeling powerless, mark these 72 hours of civic oxygen on your calendar. June 6 and June 14 are bookends on a simple story:
Veterans fight for the promise. Ordinary citizens echo the charge.
Trump throws a parade for himself. America throws a parade for democracy.
Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with neighbors – not just tweeting from the couch – does something algorithms never will: it reminds every would-be strongman that the crowd still writes the ending.
So lace up, print a sign, and bring a friend or three. The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump or to Elon Musk’s balance sheet. It belongs to the rest of us – and we’ll be waving it together in every zip code from Anchorage to Key West.
No thrones. No crowns. No kings. See you in the streets.
Wish we were in USA to partake. Well done providing info about the venues.
Peaceful, sincere, heartfelt PRAYER Rallies are the missing link.
God is your Superpower 🕊️
Loud strident voices are not cutting it.
Consider HYMNS.
IMAGINE!
Holding hands, united, singing; ‘Amazing Grace’ (often interpreted as a statement about breaking the chains of injustice).
Counter the tyranny of White House evangelical prayer that despises mercy, peace and justice, that is not Christlike.
