No Kings Protests Mobilized by Large Network of Organizations
ST. Paul, Minnesota – Recent “No Kings” protests across the nation are backed by a coalition of around 500 organizations, boasting a collective annual income of approximately $3 billion. Some of these groups, reportedly linked to communist ideologies, advocate for revolutionary change, as uncovered by an investigation.
Leading the protests is Indivisible, a Democratic political advocacy group supported by billionaire George Soros, which has taken charge of the main march in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Moreover, a significant player in this movement is Neville Roy Singham, an American tech entrepreneur and self-described communist residing in China. For nearly a decade, Singham has financially supported various activist groups that endorse radical socialist principles.
Organizations within his network, such as the New York People’s Forum and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, often collaborate on protests. They are aligned with the Freedom Road socialist organization and are actively involved in the current demonstrations. One group even expressed intentions of promoting a “revolutionary” message at the protests.
On the eve of the protests, members of the Twin Cities chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation loaded protest signs at a local shop in Minneapolis. These signs, featuring the message “NO KINGS. NO WAR,” were prepared for distribution at the upcoming demonstration at the state Capitol.
Interestingly, while “NO KINGS” presents itself as leaderless, internal documents suggest otherwise.
Activist groups across the country are making similar arrangements, openly discussing the use of the demonstrations to advance what they define as revolutionary organizing. In New York, the People’s Forum encouraged participation in their protest as part of the coalition effort. Some members have even traveled to Cuba recently to support the country’s communist regime.
In Washington, D.C., the Party for Socialism and Liberation rallied its followers to form a “socialist contingent.” Meanwhile, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, another socialist faction planned an “anti-Trump” rally. These groups have been previously noted for their vocal protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions.
They have also taken to social media, using symbols and messages aimed at garnering support for what they describe as an uprising against current policies. A statement circulated by activists echoed a call to arms, suggesting that now is the time to mobilize and turn protests into lasting democratic movements.
A circulating post among these activist networks encouraged participation in this weekend’s protests for broader gains, emphasizing the importance of joining the public in a display of solidarity.
Across various locations, including Detroit, activists from diverse backgrounds have joined forces to amplify their messages during these protests. Posts from groups in Denver featured historical references and revolutionary imagery.
In Maine, activists aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America are joining efforts with the socialist parties, promoting a united front against systemic oppression. Their rallying cry emphasizes that change requires substantial pressure against existing political systems.
Experts note that the strategy of aligning with larger progressive protests enables smaller ideological movements to gain visibility, thus facilitating recruitment and raising awareness of their causes.
Code Pink has also linked the protests to its anti-imperialist agenda, urging participation in cities nationwide. Notable figures, including actress Jane Fonda, have shown solidarity by attending related events.
The protests reflect a blend of various political criticisms, challenging U.S. policies in several global contexts.
