NO TYRANTS 2: RALLY AND LAUNCH OF “HUMAN WRITE #___”

18 OCT 2025, 2-5pm @ Mayflower Pilgrims Memorial, Town Quay, Southampton SO14 2AP

We rose up once, and on October 18 we’ll rise again—because one protest isn’t enough to protect our democracy.

As the American president, Donald Trump, escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO TYRANTS nonviolent movement continues to grow stronger. We are united once again to be a reminder that the world world has no use for an American Tyrant, and that the power belongs to the people.

Though swiftly organized over a matter of days, our first No Tyrants protest on June 14th gathered a small but mighty group - It was a show of solidarity that proved the strength of the movement.

On Saturday, October 18th, we’re holding our second international No Tyrants protest —because this isn’t about one day, it’s about building a movement that lasts.

On October 18th, come join us as we participate in the launch of a world premiere new project!

“HUMAN WRITE #____” is a protest installation spanning two continents. We're raising our collective voices to send messages directly to the White House. Forget AI, social media and the world of algorithms and influencers. HUMAN WRITE #____ is about real people getting their message across one letter at a time.

How does it work?

- Participants will be offered a blank card and a seat at one of the typewriters displayed.

- Write your personal protest message to Donald Trump — exercising your right to free speech.

- Sign you card "Human Write" instead of your name (to protect your privacy).

- Your card will be numbered and photographed for a digital archive, and then sent to Washington DC, where a group will hand-deliver thousands of messages from around the world.

Multiple international locations will be participating on 18 Oct and beyond, creating a flood of messages from around the world to Washington DC.

Everyone is welcome. If you can, bring a friend!

On October 18, take to the streets, and stand up to a Wannabe Tyrant king! Join us for the launch of this special project at NO TYRANTS 2 Southampton UK.

A core principle behind all of our 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.
