Women’s March – May 8, 2025

Clowns have always been more than jokes. From street performers in ancient festivals to anti-fascist disruptors like the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA)¹, clowning has a radical history of mocking the powerful—and stripping authoritarians of their illusion of control.

This June 14, while Trump plans to parade his ego through D.C. like a tinpot dictator, we’re flipping the script.

Feminists will host Kick Out The Clowns actions across the country: grassroots street circuses that expose the chaos of MAGA’s agenda and bring people together to laugh, rage, and resist.

Because fascists hate to be laughed at—and history shows that satire, spectacle, and joy can be powerful weapons against tyranny.²

Let’s reclaim the big tent for democracy. Let’s turn their farce into movement fuel. And let’s make June 14 a birthday Trump—and the world—won’t forget.

See you under the big top,
Women’s March
