Amarillo, TX — No Kings Day, No Kings Ever, the ERA Now

As the Driving the Vote for Equality Tour stopped in Amarillo for No Kings Day, the message of the moment aligned seamlessly with the history carried by the Golden Flyer II. No Kings Day is rooted in a simple but powerful idea — that democracy rejects concentrated power and belongs to the people. It's the same principle that fueled the suffrage movement more than a century ago.

When suffragists Nell and Alice crossed the country in 1916, they were not just demanding the vote — they were challenging a system that excluded women from full citizenship. In their own way, they were declaring that in America, there are no kings — no group entitled to rule over others without representation. That unfinished promise is what brings our Driving the Vote for Equality tour to communities like Amarillo today.

On No Kings Day, that history feels especially relevant. The Golden Flyer II stands as a bridge between generations of Americans who have insisted that power must remain with the people. In Amarillo, the connection is clear: the fight for equality did not end with the vote. It continues wherever people stand up, speak out, and demand that democracy fully include us all.

We are sharing the day by featuring more photos by Nina Zacuto—the photographer who’s been been chronicling our journey’s every mile-- when the Amarillo organizers of No Kings Day welcomed us with open arms and the Saxon became a center of attention for collecting Petition signatures for the ERA.
