✊ No Tyrants PROTEST — Global Day of Defiance

On Saturday, October 18, millions across the U.S., here in Barcelona, and around the world will rise together in a coordinated day of action to say loud and clear:
No Tyrants. The power belongs to the people.

The U.S. Administration is escalating its attacks: sending militarized forces into communities, threatening free speech, undermining civil rights and social protections, conducting mass deportations, and manipulating voting rules for its own gain — all while families are struggling. This isn’t just politics. It’s democracy versus dictatorship — and together, we choose democracy.

Be a part of the 3.5% — that’s all it takes.* History shows that when just 3.5% of the population unites in sustained, nonviolent resistance, even the most powerful regimes are forced to change.
*Chenoweth, Erica. Why Civil Resistance Works, 2011
