Protest background

Stop believing propaganda

Financial support for participation doesn't mean manufactured dissent.

Real people care about real issues that affect their lives and communities.

Democratic participation is not a conspiracy theory.

Frequently Believed Conspiracies

Addressing common talking points with facts and evidence

No Kings

Current Talking Point

"Trump isn't a King, that's silly." — No, he isn't a King. But he has repeatedly expressed desires for powers and privileges that define a monarchy. Evidence shows a pattern of seeking unchecked executive power incompatible with constitutional democracy.

Paid Protesters

Common Fallacy

"Protesters are being paid, so they're not real." — This conflates two different things. Yes, some organizations provide financial support (transportation, food, bail funds) to help people participate. But receiving support to exercise your rights doesn't mean you're a hired actor or don't genuinely believe in the cause. It means organizers are removing barriers to participation.
