‘No Kings’ Demonstrations Span All 50 States and Around the World

The 'No Kings' movement held 2,600 protests worldwide to oppose Trump’s policies and defend democratic norms amid an 18-day federal government shutdown.

  • On Saturday, millions of protesters gathered across the United States and internationally opposing President Donald Trump's agenda, with the 'No Kings' movement organizing over 2,600 rallies including events in Germany, Portugal, Sweden, the United Kingdom and Prague.
  • Organizers framed the campaign as a defense of democratic norms and rejection of authoritarianism, marking the third major mass mobilization since Trump's return and building on 1,800 rallies on June 14, 2025.
  • Organizers emphasized nonviolent tactics and ran a 90-minute safety and security training earlier this month, while Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered National Guard and DPS deployments to Austin and the president sent troops to Chicago and Los Angeles.
  • The demonstrations come as the federal government shutdown enters its 18th day, with events from late morning through early afternoon, while White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson responded `Who cares?`.
  • The demonstrations unfold amid a broader immigration crackdown under the Trump administration, with the Department of Homeland Security pledging to deport people without proper documentation and some violence, including a vehicular assault in Virginia.
