WILPF member Emma Walters calls for an end to mass deportations at a local No Kings 3 event.
The third No Kings protest brought millions into the streets, making it one of the largest single-day protest events in US history. Unsurprisingly, many WILPF members participated. From Boston to Palo Alto, WILPFers stood alongside their communities, demanding peace and democracy in response to the Trump administration’s authoritarian policies and escalating violence.
From educating and advocating to leading protest songs, WILPF members used their talents to connect with neighbors, forge new alliances, and ensure their voices were heard.
