Millions of people across the U.S. are expected to take to the streets Saturday in a massive demonstration against the Trump administration’s controversial policies.
The second edition of No Kings — a national event described as a peaceful day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the administration — is expected to take place in more than 2,500 locations across all 50 states.
Organizers say protesters are united against what they claim is the Trump administration’s ongoing “abuses of power, cruelty and corruption” in the second-ever “No Kings Day” demonstration.
On June 14, more than 5 million people rallied at over 2,100 events nationwide, condemning Trump’s “escalating abuses of power.”
On Saturday — four months after the inaugural event brought around 50,000 New Yorkers to the streets — an even bigger turnout is expected in cities across the country.
“Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and bigger,” organizers said in a news release, noting the administration has “doubled down” on its actions by gutting health care, eroding environmental protections, targeting immigrant families and “sending masked agents into our streets, terrorizing our communities.”
“‘No Kings’ is more than just a slogan. It is the foundation our nation was built upon,” organizers added. “Born in the streets, shouted by millions, carried on posters and chants, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.”
