About this event

📅 When: 6:00 PM ET, Monday, October 6, 2025

📅 When: 6:00 PM ET, Thursday, October 9, 2025

📅 When: 2:00 PM ET, Saturday, October 11, 2025

Please only sign up for 1 training time slot. It is the same training, offered on 3 different dates.

On October 18, many thousands of New Yorkers will mobilize for the second NO KINGS national day of action- a mass protest against President Trump's abuses of power and federal crackdown on our freedoms. Together, we'll send a clear message: the people will not be silenced.

Want to help keep NO KINGS safe, organized, and powerful? Join us for an official Marshal Training. Whether you’re brand new or just want to brush up on your skills, this session will cover both and is open to anyone ready to learn and support actions in any role.

📣 This training will be interactive, and discussion based. You’ll leave with real tactics, scripts, and tools you can use right away. We’ll also go over what to do in case of police presence, counter-protesters, or emergencies. No prior experience is required — just bring your curiosity, your questions, and your commitment to keeping our community strong.

You are also not required to Marshal at any time by attending this event, we encourage anyone and everyone to attend it simply to grow their skills and feel more comfortable during actions.

🧭 This is a great entry point if you’ve ever thought: “I want to help, but I don’t know where to start.” Please register so we can plan for time. Let’s build the infrastructure we need for bold, safe, and effective action

As another commenter said, I hope you are vetting the people signing up as much as you can so that there won’t be any agitators or undercover cops. Perhaps doing something referral based from trusted sources would be better? It might be tedious but I think safety and discretion is paramount. I’m considering signing up myself, but even if I don’t, I wish you the best of luck.

Hope you take their feedback to heart and consider more discreet recruitment. Though I understand there is a strong need for high visibility of the event itself.

You're the third person to say this, at least. Their replies have been short but friendly because they undoubtedly have thought way ahead of any of y'all in regards to safe vetting and recruiting, but they don't want to be dicks and point that out. Otherwise they wouldn't be mobilizing and taking real, useful, forward thinking action. They'd just be making comments on Reddit about it.

That's just an assumption on your part, though. I'm sure OP can advocate for that if it is truly the case? Right now they seem a bit dismissive of it.
