'No Kings Day' Protests Oppose Trump Policies Nationwide

On June 14, tens of thousands participated in 'No Kings Day' protests across all 50 states, coinciding with President Trump's birthday and a military parade marking the Army's 250th anniversary. Organized by groups including the 50501 Movement and Indivisible, over 1,800 events were held in cities such as San Diego, Sacramento, Lansing, Wilmington, Tucson, Arlington, and Mobile. Protesters opposed Trump administration actions they described as authoritarian, including the deployment of federal troops and immigration raids, and promoted democratic values through peaceful demonstrations. Activities included marches, mutual aid drives, performances, and bridge banner campaigns, with notable figures like Bill Nye joining some rallies. Organizers worked closely with local law enforcement to maintain order, and most events remained peaceful. The movement used slogans such as 'No thrones. No crowns. No kings.' and called for congressional accountability and increased civic engagement.
