Really. Just another body there sends a message.

It's not scary, you don't have to do anything. Just show up and hang out with some nice people for a while.

Better yet, don't take your phone. iPhones still transmit even when they're off because they warn you they are still findable when you "Power off". I don't know android but I won't be surprised if android phones do the same.

This. Yes, just go and hang out.. and the weird thing is that you will meet people there that you would NOT expect to be there. Guaranteed.

This will be my 3rd. Happened both times before. Somebody from work or other part of my life where I never for a second would have thought they would turn out... so thats cool.

Just being around so many people who are also unhappy with this regime is heartening.
Reading the signs and listening to the music gives me hope. Seeing all ages protesting together is the best.

But a sign is totally optional. It's nice, but optional. What matters is that you show up. If you have a sign, great. If you don't have a sign, nobody is going to hassle you over it. What will matter is that you showed up.

I have been to each no kings. Two or more each day in different cities. Being exhausted afterwards but feeling good about it to see so many true patriots show there love of country & the constitution. At the first one I had expressed that it was likely that I could die at the hands of government agents by protesting. This was dismissed as hyperbole. Now we have seen it on streets of America. Video proof. Eye witness proof.
Be careful out there!
