Thousands of Union Members Turn Out to Say: No Kings and No Dictators in the U.S.!

On October 18th, thousands of CWA members and other union members across the country joined hundreds of thousands of others for the No Kings Day of Action, rallying and marching peacefully through the streets in hundreds of communities. The events were a powerful show of solidarity in the face of increased concerns about the state of the federal government, attempts at consolidating power by elected officials, the ongoing federal government shutdown, and attacks on our union rights. The day was a strong defense of America’s working families.

In New York City, thousands of union members marched from Duarte Square in Lower Manhattan, led by banners from CWA members along with teachers, transit workers, nurses, building trades locals, and more. Our message was clear: in this country, we don’t have kings, we won’t back down against chaos and corruption, and we demand an economy that serves people — not just the powerful few.
