The "No Kings" protests are a series of nationwide demonstrations primarily in the United States against the policies and actions of President Donald Trump during his second term. These protests are planned to be peaceful and nonviolent. There have been two major waves of "No Kings" protests in 2025: the first on June 14, coinciding with Trump's 79th birthday and the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade, which drew over five million participants; and the second wave scheduled for October 18, 2025, with more than 2,500 events planned across all 50 states and some international locations. The October 18, 2025 protests, set for today, are expected to be even larger than the first, addressing concerns over Trump's alleged authoritarian policies, immigration enforcement tactics, federal overreach, and electoral redistricting tactics. Demonstrators are encouraged to wear yellow as a symbol of resistance and the protests emphasize the celebration of free expression and the First Amendment. Organizers include groups like the ACLU, Indivisible, and the American Federation of Teachers. Law enforcement and Republican leaders anticipate large crowds and have prepared security measures, including the deployment of National Guard troops in certain areas. In summary, the "No Kings" protests are occurring now on October 18, 2025, and remain ongoing as peaceful demonstrations across various locations in the U.S. and internationally against President Trump's governance style and policies, marking this as a significant protest movement in American history.
