'No Kings Day' Protests Draw Millions Nationwide

Millions participated in 'No Kings Day' protests on June 14, 2025, across more than 2,000 U.S. cities, coinciding with President Trump's 79th birthday and Flag Day. Demonstrators opposed what they described as authoritarianism, constitutional overreach, and anti-democratic policies under the Trump administration. Major turnouts occurred in cities including Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Seattle, and New York, as well as in states like Arkansas, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Oregon. While most rallies were peaceful, isolated violence and police interventions took place, including tear gas used in Los Angeles and Portland and a vehicular assault in Virginia. Protesters included veterans, former Republicans, elected officials, and a broad coalition advocating for respect for constitutional values. Organizers such as the 50501 Movement and Indivisible emphasized the movement's call for democracy and accountability.
