Republic wants to see as many people as possible protesting in London on May 6. This is where the eyes of the world will be. Of course, we understand that not everyone will be able to make it. This Action Pack is for you.
Get involved online
- We want a snapshot of what ordinary people are doing that day. If you're out shopping, down at the beach or enjoying the day out with friends, grab a photo of the crowds and share it with us via Twitter. Just tag @RepublicStaff
- Get on social media and keep the debate going, using #AbolishTheMonarchy and #NotMyKing throughout the day. Check our Linktree for all our channels.
- Sign the petition, demanding that the public be given the chance to vote on the future of the monarchy.
- Or, you could float us a donation. Republic's crowdfunder aims to raise £60,000 so we can keep up the momentum.

Ideas for Activities
Street Stall
Street stalls are a great way to both promote Republic as an organisation and to have engaging conversations with the general public surrounding anti-monarchist ideals. Simply find a place where you'd like to set up a stall (Making sure to enquire with your local council whether you can set up in the area beforehand), print out a bunch of our posters and sign-up forms, along with purchasing a batch of our stickers and leaflets from the Republic shop and you're ready to go! If you're a little worried about having conversations about republicanism with members of the public, have a read of our page The Truth About The Royals, which gives some great insights and factoids that can guide your conversations. We also have the document How to talk about Republic, which gives easy guide to explaining our aims and positions to the general public.
Window Posters
If you're looking for a slightly more hands-off activity that still showcases a commitment to republicanism, you can print out some of our posters and stick them in your windows. Make sure to distribute some to friends and family as well!
Republican Street Party
We know that some will participate in street parties during the Coronation, but why not flip this concept on its head and host a republican street party instead? Print off some more posters and make some bunting (Just attach the cut-out templates for bunting to string and you're pretty much ready to go). Hey, there's even a great song you can play and chant along to - You're Not My King by Tim Broadbent and Rick Preston!
Good luck and have fun!
