no kings protests planned in north texas axios dallas

Thousands of people lined the suburban streets in Frisco, Plano and McKinney in the rain for the October No Kings protest against the Trump administration. Frisco and Plano are in Collin County, one of the fastest growing areas in the nation according to the U.S. Census. It’s known for being a Republican stronghold and the home base of conservative Attorney General Ken Paxton. It’s also home to Rep. Mihaela Plesa from Plano, the first Democratic state representative elected to the Texas statehouse from Collin County in 30 years.

Jenny Colombo stood by a traffic light in Plano holding a rainbow trimmed sign that said “The Emperor Has No Clothes,” referencing a children’s story where people were too afraid to tell an emperor... “I feel President Trump is the epitome of that character,” Colombo said. “Everybody is just walking around him, everybody can see what’s going on, and they’re all just supporting him blindly.” Colombo has lived in Plano for 35 years. She said the area has changed politically. (WBAP/KLIF) – DALLAS/FORT WORTH, TX – The No King’s rallies are the latest series of mass protests attempting to push back against the Trump administration’s policies.

The last round of No Kings protests took place over the summer when people from more than a thousand communities spoke out against certain aspects of the Trump administration’s agenda. Governor Greg Abbott stated that he will deploy DPS officers and National Guard troops to scheduled rallies in Austin to deter criminal mischief, and any acts of violence. Multiple protests are scheduled to take place in major metropolitan areas like Austin, Dallas, and Fort Worth, and in smaller cities like Burleson, Stephenville, and Corsicana. Local police departments have been in touch with organizers, and are fully aware of this weekend’s demonstrations. Most cities have a safety plan in place that still allows for residents to peacefully assemble. (Copyright 2025 WBAP/KLIF.

More than 2,000 rallies were held nationwide, including more than a dozen in North Texas. "Good spirits out here, good energy, and just people who care about what's going on," said Lakisha Bibins. "It tells you that this topic is important, you know, anti-immigration, divisiveness, human rights," said Maurico Cornejo.

Despite afternoon rain, thousands took to the streets of North Texas for protests against the Trump administration on Saturday. NORTH TEXAS - Despite afternoon rain, thousands took to the streets of North Texas for protests against the Trump administration on Saturday. People brought signs and marched at the "No Kings" protests. Across the country, large crowds gathered in over 2,500 cities in protest against President Donald Trump. It was no different here in the Metroplex, as thousands took to the streets for the "No Kings" protests. This story will be updated with each new North Texas rally location.

North Texas, including Fort Worth, will be part of the No Kings Coalition’s nationwide day of action this fall. The coalition, which describes itself as a non-violent alliance of grassroots and national organizations, is preparing for its second coordinated “No Kings Day” event on Saturday, Oct. 18. The movement first drew tens of thousands into the streets in June, staging marches and rallies in cities across the country. Organizers say this weekend’s demonstrations are meant to send a louder message that “America has no kings” and that political power belongs to the people. It’s been months since local streets have been filled with the enthusiastic shouts and colorful signs of protesters shouting their opposition to the Trump administration.

But that will change on Saturday, Oct. 18, for the No Kings Day of Peaceful Action. It’s the first large-scale No Kings series of rallies since June, when hundreds of thousands of protesters gained enough attention from state and federal leaders that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott deployed the Texas National Guard to select rallies. “As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the No Kings nonviolent movement continues to rise stronger,” reads a press release for the series of events. “We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power belongs to the people.”

A wide range of topics takes center stage during the No Kings events. During the June 14 rally in Dallas, people displaying signs with messaging geared toward President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, the Russia-Ukraine war and Trump’s criminal record could be seen among the masses. Organizers say that at least 100 Texas cities will have No Kings rallies. “The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us,” reads the Dallas rally’s webpage.

We’re $11,000 away from our End-of-Year campaign goal, with just a couple of days left! We’re ready to deliver — but we need the resources to do it right.
