WILPF members across the US participated in nationwide “No Kings” protests on June 14. These actions were a collective demonstration against Trump’s fascist agenda during his current term. According to Axios, more than 2,000 cities and towns across the US held “No Kings” events, and over 5 million people participated. From Philadelphia to Los Angeles, WILPFers were there in the streets, standing–and marching–for peace and justice!

Below are several photos from June 14’s “No Kings” protests, submitted by WILPF members:
