On Saturday, a large military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Army took place in Washington, D.C. The parade coincided with Flag Day and Mr. Trump's 79th birthday. Organizers of the national "No Kings" movement said they took to the streets on Saturday in response to Mr.

Trump's "made-for-TV display of dominance." "No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance," according to the organizer's website. Miami’s “No Kings” protest had an Uncle Sam, a tribute to Portland’s inflatable frog costumes and lots of homemade signs bashing the Trump administration for a host of issues. National organizers for the “No Kings” protests, which took place Saturday, encouraged attendees to wear yellow as a sign of “collective strength in the face of oppression,” and focus on “community and joy” during... “We are pushing back against authoritarianism through community and joy,” an email to attendees across the country said Friday. “Remember that we are not only protesting an authoritarian power grab, we are building the community we need to resist for years to come.”

Here are some of the signs Miami protesters carried during the event in downtown near the Torch of Friendship. This story was originally published October 18, 2025 at 11:59 AM. Salsa dancing, Bad Bunny songs, billowing flags and chanting protesters took over the streets around the Torch of Friendship monument during Saturday's "No Kings" protest in downtown Miami. Protesting the direction of the country under President Donald Trump, and what organizers call his authoritarian policies, millions of people gathered in communities across the U.S. for the third “No Kings” demonstrations. According to organizers, it was the biggest protest yet, with almost 7 million people attending more than 2,700 rallies in cities large and small, including the nation's capital, organized by hundreds of coalition partners.

In South Florida, more than a dozen protests were planned from Key West to Palm Beach Gardens. At Miami's Bayfront park, organizers led hundreds of protesters with chants in English and Spanish and played local classics, like Conga by Miami Sound Machine. In the crowd, there were numerous Trump impersonators, protesters in full body inflatable costumes and a dancing Captain America. Demonstrators hit the streets throughout South Florida to protest the Trump administration’s policies Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration came out the streets to rally in hundreds of cities on Saturday, including across South Florida, during the military parade in Washington for the Army’s 250th anniversary —... Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier had strong words about what would happen if protests turned rowdy, but authorities did not report incidents.

Thousands of Floridians took to the streets Saturday for another day of “No Kings” rallies focused on peaceful protest against what organizers call “an authoritarian power grab” by President Donald Trump. Bad Bunny songs blasted over loudspeakers to welcome Miami protesters to Bayfront Park Saturday morning. Crowds gathered along the roadway in Young Circle Park in Hollywood — where Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz made an appearance— as passing cars honked their support. And hundreds shouted over the surf in Ft. Lauderdale Beach. The protests were filled with humor and inflatable animal costumes, as organizers encouraged attendees to focus on joy as much as fighting back against the Trump administration.

They want us to be violent,” said Claudia Schultz, a 73-year-old protester at Hollywood’s Young Circle Park who wore an inflatable pig costume. “You can’t get any less violent than this.” The events come four months after the first “No Kings” rallies in June, which were scheduled on the same day as Donald Trump’s birthday and a military parade for the Army’s 250th anniversary. This time around, organizers said there is no specific reason for the date. “We believe every date is a good date to stand up against authoritarianism,” the “No Kings” national media team told the Miami Herald. But in South Florida, this weekend’s protests coincide with the president returning to Palm Beach for the first time since May for a $1 million-a-plate MAGA Inc.

fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago. And the Miami rally also marched to the Freedom Tower and stopped at the adjacent parking lot to protest Trump’s planned high-rise presidential library. Thousands of protesters lined the sidewalks from Miami to West Palm Beach Saturday, chanting “dump Trump,” wearing inflatable animal costumes and singing the national anthem as part of the second wave of anti-Trump, “No... Like the previous round of “No Kings” protests in June, the theme of the demonstrations was democracy. Participants echoed concerns raised over the summer, including the administration’s widespread immigration crackdown, economic inequality and infringements on due process. But many said their unease had deepened in the last few months, with several pointing to the deployment of the military to Democrat-led cities, ramped up deportations, and what they saw as a weaponization...

“I just think it’s building momentum, his cruelty, his bad decisions, his anti-democracy ideology,” said Stephen Dubin, 73, who attended a Boca Raton protest with his 12-year-old granddaughter and her friend. “It’s just getting worse and worse.” Saturday’s demonstrations unfolded across multiple parts of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and Miami while Trump was spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach. They were largely peaceful and heavily policed, though some clashes with counterprotesters occurred. Protesters will take to the streets in nearly 2,000 cities nationwide tomorrow, including many across South Florida, in response to President Donald Trump’s multimillion-dollar military parade in Washington, D.C. The military parade on Saturday, June 14, is in honor of the Army’s 250th anniversary.

The event, which also falls on Trump’s 79th birthday and Flag Day, will feature 6,600 soldiers, battle tanks, and helicopters. Trump has been pushing for a military parade in the nation’s capital since his first term. Organizers say that the “No Kings” protests are part of a nationwide day of defiance to “reject authoritarianism” and “show what democracy looks like.” “On June 14 – Flag Day – President Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday,” the website reads. “A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington.

It rises up everywhere else.” Our work is funded by readers like you who make voluntary gifts because they value our work and want to see it continue.
