- Organizers frame the demonstrations as a response to what they describe as President Donald Trump's crackdown on First Amendment rights and executive overreach; this is the second "No Kings" protest and third mass movement against the administration this year amid rising federal conflicts.

- House Speaker Mike Johnson called the protests the 'Hate America rally' at a Wednesday news conference, and organizers say success means increased political engagement.
