Gran-Tifa: Boomer Resistance Activists Out in Large Numbers at ‘No Kings’

Older demonstrators joined Saturday’s nationwide “No Kings” protests under the self-styled banner “Grantifa,” with participants holding handmade signs and wearing shirts declaring themselves “Grandparents Against Fascism.” The “No Kings” demonstrations were organized in opposition to President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies.

Activist Shane Claiborne shared a photo from a protest where two older attendees carried signs reading “GRANTIFA: Grandpops Against Fascism” and “GRANTIFA: Grandmoms Against Fascism,” writing on X, “I met Grantifa today. We’re gonna be alright. #NoKings #NoKingsDayOct18th.” In another post, X user William Coffin posted a photo from Arizona of two older women wearing blue “Grantifa” shirts reading “aka senior citizens against this bullsh*t,”
