Anti-Trump protesters mobilized in force across Arlington today (Saturday) as part of nationwide “No Kings Day” demonstrations ahead of the military parade in D.C. Waving signs, banners and American flags, they cheered from overpasses and chanted outside the Clarendon Metro station. An estimated 5,000 people lined long stretches of Langston Blvd from Rosslyn to Falls Church, in an attempt to form an enormous, 5.2-mile “human chain.” In Falls Church earlier in the day, they packed five blocks of Broad Street. Many of the protesters were Arlington residents, while others traveled to the county in order to be close to D.C., where no official “No Kings” events were planned. Concerns ranged from immigration policy to mass federal layoffs to funding for health care, environmental programs and USAID.

“Nobody wants their grandma to lose Medicaid, and so we just feel we need to step up and say something,” Micaela Pond, founder of We of Action Virginia, told ARLnow. “It’s not about being bad sports. It’s about basic human rights in our Constitution being violated.” On October 18, more than 7 million of us rose up at more than 2,700 events in all 50 states, DC, and cities worldwide to say: America has no kings, and the power belongs... Now, our task is to stay vigilant, stay united, and continue to push back. In June, millions of everyday Americans from every walk of life peacefully took to the streets and declared with one voice: No Kings.

The world saw the power of the people, and President Trump’s attempt at a coronation collapsed under the strength of a movement rising against his abuses of power. Now, he’s doubling down — sending militarized agents into our communities, silencing voters, and handing billionaires giveaways while families struggle. This isn’t just politics. It’s democracy versus dictatorship. And together, we’re choosing democracy. ARLINGTON, VA — A second round of "No Kings" protests against the Trump administration will include demonstrations over two days in Arlington.

Come for the honks, the joy and the community ahead of the DC rally, to be held on the Mall the next day," according to the organizers. Attendees are encouraged to register in advance. The seven bridges are: Utah Street, Harrison Street, Patrick Henry Street, 5705 Fairfax (pedestrian), Ohio Street, 1500 North Potomac (pedestrian); and at the intersection of Washington and Langston Boulevard.

On Saturday, Oct. 18, from 9 to 10:30 a.m., No Kings WofA will be gathering on five bridges to protest: North George Mason, 1500 Potomac, and 5705 Fairfax.
