Defend Tucson, “¡Tucson se defiende!” (DTSD) is a broad coalition committed to nonviolence, defense of our civil liberties, human rights, and our right to local self-governance. Tucson’s choice is simple: defend democracy, not militarization or government overreach. Stand with us to keep our beloved city a place where we solve problems together—in public and without fear. On the morning of No Kings Day, meet us at El Presidio Plaza and outside City Hall for a march, rally, and press conference. Let's unite the Old Pueblo to defend Tucson and say together: “Tucson defends itself!” “¡Tucson se defiende!” This event is organized as part of DTSD's No Kings Weekend. Visit takeactiontucson.org for information about Friday and Sunday's events. At the time of this posting, the DTSD Coalition is composed of Arizona Palestine Solidarity Alliance, AZ Reproductive Freedom for All, Border Patrol Victims Network, Climate Action Campaign UA, Coalición de Derechos Humanos, Democracy Unites Us, Indivisible Tucson Action Alliance, Jewish Voice for Peace, Lamplighters, Matthew 25:34, Mobilize Tucson, No Desert Data Center Coalition, Peacekeepers of Tucson, Tucson PSL, and Tucson Street Medics. We welcome local organizations that support defending our democracy. If your organization is interested in joining, please email [email protected]. In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together. The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us. A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
