Here we are, at another crossroads where each and every one of us matters. By showing up, engaging in peaceful, and earnest, resistance, We the People will have to be heard and reckoned with. This issue is largely dedicated to the No Kings 3 events, more than 3,000 of them happening across the U.S. and internationally on Saturday, March 28. We know many of you have put in an enormous amount of work getting ready. Please tell us your story after attending!
