No Kings | 10.18.25

On June 14, we did what many claimed was impossible.

In partnership with hundreds of organizations, we peacefully mobilized more than 5 million people to take to the streets in every corner of the country and declare with one voice: America has no kings. It was one of the largest single days of nonviolent mass protest in U.S. history—and it mattered.

The world saw the power of the people. Donald Trump's outrageous birthday military parade was drowned out by protests in every state and across the globe. His attempt to turn June 14 into a coronation collapsed, and the story became the strength of a movement rising against his authoritarian power grabs.

But Trump has doubled down since. And he has teetered our country into authoritarianism, causing grave harm to many people already and threatening the safety of all of us.

His administration is sending masked agents into our streets, terrorizing our communities. They're targeting immigrant families, profiling, arresting, and detaining people without warrants. They’re threatening to undermine free and fair elections. Gutting health care, environmental protections, and education. Rigging maps to silence voters. Ignoring mass shootings at our schools and in our communities. Driving up the cost of living while handing out massive giveaways to billionaires, as families struggle.

Trump thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don't have kings—and we won't back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty.

That's why we're announcing No Kings Day on Saturday, October 18, the next nationwide day of protest and defiance.

As Trump escalates his authoritarian power grab, the No Kings nonviolent movement continues to rise stronger. On October 18, we'll unite once again to make crystal clear: America has no kings. The power belongs to the people.
