No Tyrants – Global Day of Defiance

On Saturday, October 18, voices across the U.S. and around the world will unite in a global day of protest against authoritarianism and corruption. Here in Vienna, we will stand together with allies everywhere to demand a government of, by, and for the people—not for tyrants, not for oligarchs.

The current administration has escalated its assaults on the foundations of American democracy:

• Undermining free and fair elections
  
  

• Attacking an independent press and silencing dissent
  
  

• Eroding civil rights and protections
  
  

• Consolidating power in the hands of the few while ordinary families struggle
  
  

This is not normal politics—it is a dangerous slide into authoritarianism. And we refuse to be silent.

On October 18, join us as we send a clear, undeniable message: Democracy will not be stolen. America has no kings, no tyrants, no oligarchs.

When people rise together, change becomes inevitable. History proves it: with only 3.5% of a population united in sustained, nonviolent resistance, regimes fall, and freedom prevails.
Stand with us on October 18.
