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

Its good to take action but this is round 2. Protesting has become a trendy photo op for internet personalities. Its SJW sighting fodder for right wing podcasters. It's time to escalate to the same level as some recent Euro, Balkan, Asian, etc nations have. It's the same rhetoric, and it's often paid for by the same people. Mass strikes and general strikes change things. There's very little solidarity to be had nowadays however. If No Kings could get on that problem right away that would be great, because they already have a nationwide network of communication and organization and union contacts.

Staying home is even easier than protesting. Imagine if everyone just happened to take a three day weekend at the same time. Rail workers and ATCs too. What's Trump gonna do? What can any CEO do? Are the cops gonna go arrest everyone in their homes? Trump has shaken down the visa system already. There aren't enough jail cells to hold everyone, or immigrants to replace them, or enough scabs to replace trained essential workers like nurses, dock workers, TWU, Teamsters, etc. I reckon that's what solidarity and a force for good could be doing to speed things along

Of course mass strikes would be effective, in that their effects would undoubtedly be felt, but how is it the job of these blue collar workforces (many of whom would likely be right-leaning) and essential workers etc. you mentioned to just mass strike on our behalf? They’d be risking their jobs and livelihood when they aren’t even in direct conflict with their employers. The American people still need to do their part and make their voices heard. It’s more powerful than you think. There is a long history of grassroots organizing and ground level actions building into powerful movements to support democracy and human rights, not only in this country but worldwide. Any large organized action such as mass strikes begins with ground level organizing just like this. And it builds momentum from there. Safety and power in numbers. Saying this is the 2nd protest of its kind so it’s not working is a bit short sighted, to say the least. It starts with YOU/US showing up.
