Dear Editor:

After sending masked troops into American cities to launch racist attacks, invoking unintelligible tariffs, and cutting medical benefits to millions of our fellow citizens we can no longer look away.

Trump’s tyrannical executive orders and his ad hominem rantings in front of the United Nations and the country’s top military brass should have us all afraid for our nation’s future.

If you want American democracy to endure, speak out and attend one of the No Kings Day events on Saturday, Oct. 18. Our children, grandchildren and neighbors deserve no less.
