Tomorrow Donald Trump will be viewing a military parade to celebrate his 79th birthday. (And the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army). But mainly his birthday.
The parade will cost an estimated $25-$45 million featuring approximately 6,600 soldiers and more than 100 military vehicles, including 28 M1A1 Abrams tanks, 28 M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, and 28 Stryker vehicles. The damage from these vehicles could reach up to $16 million to D.C.’s streets.
But don’t despair. Because, also in honor of Trump’s birthday, hundreds of thousands of people in all fifty states will be participating in the No Kings Protest in cities big and small.
I hope you can attend your local No Kings Protest.
While we can’t donate to the DC Department of Transportation, we can keep supporting progressive candidates and causes who will stand up to Trump’s dangerous agenda.

P.S. This will be the first No Kings Protest in the U.S. since the War of 1812.
