Mike Pesoli, Associated Press Mike Pesoli, Associated Press Gary Fields, Associated Press Gary Fields, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Protesting the direction of the country under President Donald Trump, people gathered Saturday in the nation's capital and communities across the U.S. for " No Kings " demonstrations — what the president's Republican Party is calling "Hate America" rallies. Watch speakers at the 'No Kings' protest in Washington, D.C. in the video player above.

They rallied with signs like "Nothing is more patriotic than protesting" or "Resist Fascism," and in many places it looked more like a street party. There were marching bands, a huge banner with the U.S. Constitution's "We The People," preamble that people could sign, and protesters in frog costumes, which have emerged as a sign of resistance in Portland, Oregon. Millions of people are expected to turn out to “No Kings” protests at over 2,500 locations across the U.S. Crowds gathered Saturday in cities across the United States — and overseas — for No Kings rallies in protest of President Donald Trump’s administration and to call for the defense of First Amendment rights. Protesters from Los Angeles to New York — including in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Austin, Texas — flooded into streets chanting, marching and waving homemade signs, including some that proclaimed “We want all of...

Organizers said nearly 7 million people turned out Saturday to more than 2,700 No Kings protests across the U.S. — 2 million more than at the previous round of rallies in June. Speeches were shared, music blared, and some donned Halloween costume in the cross-country rallies that demanded the protection of constitutional rights, which they say are under attack by the Trump administration. Protesters held rallies across the country opposing Trump’s agenda on the day of the president’s military parade. They cap a week of demonstrations against immigration raids that began in Los Angeles and spread nationwide. Saturday’s ‘No Kings’ protests were organized by a coalition of groups.

From New York to California and almost everywhere in between, "No Kings" protests against President Donald Trump’s policies are happening in nearly 2,000 cities across the U.S. Saturday as a military parade rolls in Washington for the Army’s 250th anniversary. The protests, organized by the 50501 national movement, are meant to counter what organizers call a day for Trump to feed his own ego as he turns 79 years old.

Saturday’s demonstrations followed the June 14, 2025 No Kings protests that drew millions of people.

Millions protest nationwide for ‘No Kings’ Day “I think that this is going to be a stronger push than the last one,” Hunter Dunn of 50501, a progressive organization that is one of the event’s organizers, told The New York Times.
