Vice Chair Kanto Chapter 2025~27

Join Democrats Abroad Japan on Sat March 28 2-4pm by the Shimokitazawa Station east exit

Take part in a day of global action against the corrupt Trump administration

No Tyrants! No Oligarchs! No more corruption!

US Citizens around the world are gathering to demonstrate what we believe in: that democracy matters and the United States does not belong to a wannabe king. We're showing up to say no to tyrants, no to dictators, no to oligarchs, and no to autocrats.

We gather to do more than vent but to build community and a base of people power to impact the 2026 elections and bring about policy change. Protests are important but they don’t defeat authoritarianism - they are the beginning of something bigger. We have the power to change what is happening in the USA. We are part of a future oriented movement. Let's use our power to create the future we want to live in.

SHARE WIDELY We need your help in getting out the word and this event is not open just to DA members or US voters

Throughout the event, DAJ members will be speaking out against tyranny and corruption. Rally organizers explain that “We stand together for democracy, peace and rule of law. We stand together against oligarchs, corruption and, against attacks on the middle class, and war-mongering.” This rally is a place for U.S. citizens living abroad to become a part of the change they want to see in the US and the world and learn how others living abroad are contributing to that change. Regardless of background or party affiliation, all are encouraged to join us to “Take a stand in public - Be seen, Be heard and Take Action.”
