- On Oct. 18, the No Kings national coalition and 50501 Movement will hold protests in 2,500 cities, with organizers saying millions will join against President Donald Trump.
- Organizers argue the Trump administration's immigration operations and National Guard deployments, along with rising health care and living costs, tariffs, and funding cuts amid a government shutdown, drive protests.
- Prepared with trainings, the American Civil Liberties Union, Indivisible Project, 50501 Movement and American Federation of Teachers trained thousands of local organizers in safety, de-escalation and nonviolence and will provide know-your-rights materials in ten languages at Saturday’s protests.

- With high political stakes, Saturday's rallies occur during a government shutdown as Democrats in Congress tie funding to Nov. 21, while House Republicans label protests a 'hate America rally,' escalating partisan rhetoric linking protests to extremism.
