Will marchers carry flags on “No Kings Day”?
On June 14, more than 1,000 local demonstrations will challenge President Trump’s North Korean-style military parade for his birthday with our defense of democracy.
The 14th is also Flag Day and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. The flag can’t replace protest signs. But it complements and amplifies them. The demonstrations send a message that even as Trump and his allies wrap themselves in their flags, they are betraying the best of America. They highlight a culture of corruption where the only Americans who matter are allies of Trump at the top and persons or institutions who would challenge this become subjects of attacks.
Our flags make clear, in contrast, that we are defending Americans’ fundamental right to speak out, without which all other rights become meaningless. They’re a message to all who agree with us but also to all those Americans who voted for Trump or stayed home, rejecting both candidates. Because to change the direction of our country, the support of at least some of these people will be essential.

On edit: Bought a small flag today which I'm going to carry Saturday.

Made in USA. I used to ponder trying to obtain a flag which had flown over the Capitol, but the notion has lost its allure, sadly.
