Not Suitable for Democracy

Episode 24: Why No Kings Events are Suitable for Democracy


Listen Later

In this episode, we hit the streets of New York City for the No Kings March, a vibrant protest with one clear message: power belongs to the people, not the powerful. 

Host Nick shares his firsthand experience at the march — the chants, the energy, and the humor that only New Yorkers can bring to a protest. Along the way, he interviews six attendees, including a union member, a member from the Democratic Socialist of America, and activists from ACT UP. They share their thoughts on the state of democracy, their favorite protest signs, and what they plan to do next to keep the movement alive. It’s democracy in motion — loud, passionate, and unmistakably human.

Nick also pushes back on the critiques surrounding the march, arguing that real change starts with how we treat one another. The march wasn’t just about protest — it was about participation. By bringing more people into the political process, the hope is that the next event will be even larger, louder, and more united than before.
