Nationwide July 4 Protests Target Trump Administration Across Multiple States

This Fourth of July, several protests are planned across the United States, reflecting widespread dissent against the current administration and broader political issues. In Missouri and Iowa, groups like Women's March and Concerned Iowans are organizing demonstrations emphasizing liberty, justice, and democracy, with events including marches and community donations. In Anchorage, the socialist group No Kings will protest, challenging the characterization of the sitting president and contrasting with traditional Independence Day celebrations such as parades and fireworks. Similarly, in North Carolina, Guilford County Indivisible is staging a No Kings protest to highlight concerns about protecting democracy against perceived tyranny, coinciding with local festivities. Nationally, grassroots organizations including Indivisible and the People's Union USA are urging boycotts of traditional patriotic events to send a message of defiance toward the Trump administration. Despite these protests, many communities continue to hold conventional celebrations honoring America's independence.
