Millions Join Thousands of US Anti-Trump Protests Nationwide

On June 14, 2025, millions of Americans participated in nationwide protests under the slogan 'No Kings' to oppose President Donald Trump's administration. Demonstrations took place in over 1,500 cities, including Philadelphia, Evanston, and Boston, expressing anger over Trump's immigration raids, use of military forces against protesters, and a costly military parade on his birthday. Protesters and public officials criticized the administration's authoritarian tactics, militarization of democracy, and budget cuts affecting healthcare and education. Organizers condemned the parade's funding amidst social service cuts and condemned the administration's threats to quell dissent using the National Guard and federal military forces. Despite President Trump's warnings of strong force against protesters, the rallies were peaceful, emphasizing resistance to what many view as the weaponization of government power. The movement also called on Congress to act responsibly on immigration reform and to prevent further government overreach.
