The No Kings protests are a series of three protests (June 2025, October 2025, and March 2026) mainly held in the United States opposing the actions and policies of the second Trump administration.
The June 2025 protests took place on June14, 2025 (labeled as No Kings Day by the participants), on the same day as the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade and Trump's 79th birthday.
Organizers estimated that more than five million people participated in more than 2,100 cities and towns, including the flagship event in Philadelphia. More protests took place in the U.S. territories of Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands, and in 20 foreign countries, including Canada, Japan, Mexico, and in Europe. In countries with constitutional monarchies such as Canada and the United Kingdom, the alternate "Dictators" or "Tyrants" titles were favored over "Kings" to avoid confusion with anti-monarchic movements; Hawaiûi did the same to avoid confusion with a King Kamehameha Day parade held on the same day and out of deference to the Hawaiian Kingdom.
The demonstrations, which took place in some 2,700 locations across the country on October 18, 2025, including the National Mall in Washington, D.C., Chicago, and New York City.
Organizers of the protests estimated that the protests drew nearly 7 million attendees, while a partnership between data journalist G. Elliott Morris and the Xylom, an independent Atlanta-based science newsroom, estimated 5 million to 6.5 million participants. Either estimate would make this one of the largest single-day protests in American history.
In January 2026, organizers announced plans to hold a third "No Kings" mass mobilization in response to the killings of Alex Pretti and Renée Good, as well as the 2026 Minnesota general strike.
The third event took place on March 28, 2026. In addition to the organizers' original plans, the 2026 Iran war, democratic backsliding, suppression of the Epstein files, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations were all subjects of protest. The organizers claim the protests included more than 3,300 organized events across the country that drew a combined estimated eight to nine million protestors. It was the largest single-day protest in American history.
