“No Kings” protesters took to the streets in more than 3,000 cities and towns across the country on Saturday to criticize President Donald Trump and his policies again, with organizers saying this could be their largest yet.
The “No Kings” protests are the latest since October, and organizers said they were looking to send a message addressing what they call “the ongoing chaos of the Trump administration” since then.

From the use of federal troops to enforce immigration laws, to the killings of Rene Judd and Alex Peretti at the hands of federal law enforcement in Minneapolis, to Trump’s war with Iran, members of the national No Kings coalition said Americans are looking to raise their voices in protest.
“People who are coming out will be asked to report on an ongoing basis for ICE surveillance, for mutual aid, to support immigrant communities, to advocate against this illegal and catastrophic war, for voter registration and all of the work of building power locally,” Leah Greenberg, co-director of Indivisible, one of the coalition groups, said in a statement Thursday.

Organizers, from groups including the American Civil Liberties Union, National Action Network and United Federation of Teachers, said they have more than 3,200 events planned across the cities and expect them to be larger than the October event, which they say attracted more than 7 million protesters.
Saturday marks the third “No to Kings” demonstration since Trump returned to office.

They called on protesters to be peaceful just like last time, when there were no unrest or reports of violence.
In New York City, the rally will begin at Columbus Circle, near the luxury Trump International Hotel, and will travel more than 20 blocks, according to demonstrators. It will include a list of celebrities, including actor Robert De Niro.
In Minneapolis, which saw tens of thousands of protesters take to the streets in January and February in the wake of the killings of Judd and Pretty, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Bruce Springsteen are scheduled to speak at the event there, according to No Kings campaign organizers.
The demonstrations were not limited to US cities only, as demonstrators in other countries organized “No to Kings” protests as well.
In Rome, the streets were filled with demonstrators calling for the Trump administration.
The White House and other allies have not commented on this weekend’s events, but they and some Republicans have said in the past that the protests were “hate-America” rallies.
Trump himself dismissed the protests in October, telling reporters: “I’m not king” before the rallies.
The president then reposted an AI-generated video on his social media platform showing him flying a fighter jet and apparently throwing feces at protesters.
The White House did not comment on the video. But House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Trump.
“The president is using social media to make this point,” Johnson told reporters on October 20. “You could say he’s probably the most effective person who has ever used social media to make this happen. He’s using sarcasm to make a point. He’s not advocating the killing of his political opponents.”
