The mobilization was a direct response to a military parade rolling through Washington, DC, on Saturday that celebrated the 250th anniversary of the US Army. It also coincided with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday. Saturday's rallies have been amplified by a week of protests against ICE raids in Los Angeles and other major cities. Following the Hands Off! and 50501 protests this spring, Saturday’s demonstrations weren't the first nationwide rejection of Trump’s policies. But organizers said they would be the largest.

The "No Kings" protests returned to cities across the United States this weekend. Following the June event, in which millions took to the streets to march against President Donald Trump and his administration, the activist group organized hundreds of protest events for Saturday, Oct. 18. A message on the No Kings website praised the success of the summer marches, which were held as a counterprotest to Trump's military birthday parade in Washington, D.C. "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," it said. Protesters flooded into streets chanting, marching and waving homemade signs.
