FEATURING GLO SAHAY - In June 2025, hundreds of thousands of people mobilized in cities around the United States rejecting the idea of modern-day monarchy under the Trump administration. Now, on October 18th, in an event that will be televised on Free Speech TV, a second so-called “No Kings” mobilization promises to be even more wide ranging than the first. 

Glo Sahay is an experienced organizer and IT Professional who ten years ago campaigned for Bernie Sanders and also organized around the Flint water crisis. She founded Political Revolution when the Sanders’ campaign ended and helps to support progressive grassroots candidates nationwide. Her organization helps provide infrastructure support to 50501. Sahay spoke with Sonali Kolhatkar about the October 18th mobilization.

ROUGH TRANSCRIPT:

Sonali Kolhatkar: So, I covered the No Kings Rally here in Southern California where I'm based on Los Angeles. And out of curiosity, I went to the No Kings website to see where the LA event would be happening on Saturday. And what I found was overwhelming, literally every city, every town in Southern California, no matter how big or small is having a No Kings mobilization. Some have multiple mobilizations. This definitely seems, at least here where I'm based, much bigger. Give me a sense of the scope of the second No Kings rally and how it compares to what we saw in June of this year. 

Glo Sahay: Absolutely. So right now, we have over 2,500 events which is very nearly close to double of how many events we had on June 14th. In addition to that we have events in almost every single congressional county. There's only 15 in which we do not have events. So, and in terms of RSVPs we are receiving close to 40,000 RSVPs daily. So, this is going to be an extremely momentous event.
