Sunday, May 24, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, thousands will converge at the DeVos Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan — the same venue hosting the Libertarian National Convention — for the third Rage Against the War Machine rally.
Attendees will demand an immediate end to the war in Iran and a firm national commitment to
no more wars.
Many participants view themselves as core members of the broad coalition that helped elect President Trump and supported Tulsi Gabbard (a speaker at the first Rage Against the War Machine rally) for Director of National Intelligence. That coalition’s support for the current
administration has now fractured in response to the war with Iran, which they see as a major broken campaign promise.
Key demands and messages at the rally will include:
● Say no to the Iran war
● President Trump must honor his campaign promises of “no new wars” and America First
● This war is destroying the coalition that brought Trump to power
● Remove advisors who pushed for this war
● No war for resources or pipelines
● No U.S. troops on the ground in Iran
● Honor the troops who have died by preventing more deaths
● No more regime change wars
● Return to a true America First foreign policy
● Opposing war does not mean supporting violent foreign regimes — it means putting the lives and interests of Americans first
● Let Israel fight its own battles
"I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars."
— Donald Trump, Election Night Victory Speech, November 2024
Speakers, veterans, musicians, and coalition leaders will address the crowd, including Dan McKnight of Defend The Guard, author and senior editor of
Antiwar.com Scott Horton, and Aaron Day. More speakers and entertainers are being added daily.
