An estimated 100,000 people rallied against the Trump administration throughout New York City for a massive ‘No Kings’ march on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025. The protest called for a stop to President Trump’s tyrannical policies. This marked the second ‘No Kings’ protest this year, the first coinciding with the president’s birthday and military parade back in June.
