NO THRONES!

NO CROWNS!

NO KINGS!

On October 18, millions of us are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.

In June, millions of everyday Americans from every walk of life peacefully took to the streets
and declared with one voice: No Kings! The world saw the power of the people, and
President Trump’s attempt at a coronation collapsed under the strength of a movement rising against his abuses of power.

Now, President Trump has doubled down. His administration is sending masked agents into our streets, terrorizing our communities. Trump and his corrupt administration are

--Targeting immigrant families, profiling, arresting and detaining people without warrants.

--Threatening to overtake elections and end mail-in voting.

--Gutting healthcare and canceling cancer & other medical research

--Destroying environmental protections

--Dismantling & shredding education and services when families need them most

--Rigging maps to silence voters.

--Ignoring mass shootings at our schools and in our communities.

--Driving up the cost of living while handling out massive giveaways to billionaire allies,
as families struggle.

The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty!

Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and bigger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan; it is the foundation our nation was built upon. 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.

Because this country does not belong to kings, dictators, or tyrants. It belongs to We the People - the people who care, who show up, and the ones who fight for dignity, a life we can afford, and real opportunity.

No Thrones! No Crowns! No Kings!


PEACEFUL PROTEST: A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

No Kings Movement Announces Next Day of Nationwide Actions for Oct 18


"No Kings is a non-violent movement that continues to rise stronger, and we’re uniting once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power belongs to the people."
Common Dreams Staff
Sep 02, 2025

The organizers behind the anti-Trump "No Kings" demonstrations that saw millions take to the streets earlier this year announced Tuesday their next major protest will take place on October 18.

Following thousands of events nationwide on June 14 that brought millions of people out to decry the actions of President Donald Trump, the announcement for the new date, said organizers in a media alert,

comes amid President Trump’s latest escalations: threats to send militarized forces into U.S. cities, the continued detention and encampment of immigrants, and his recent remark that "a lot of people are saying, 'maybe we’d like a dictator.' The October mobilization is designed as a direct, non-violent rebuke to those authoritarian claims.
Fresh links on the website of the No Kings coalition—which includes Indivisible, the ACLU, the American Federation of Teachers, Public Citizen, SEIU, MoveOn, and dozens of others—include a place to 'learn more" about planned actions in your local city and ways to support the effort.

"Just picking a day on the calendar won’t be enough to generate the kind of response we need in this moment," said Invisible in a call to action sent to members on Tuesday. "A national day of protest takes time and immense resources to prepare—tech and online infrastructure, marketing materials, security investments, staging/sounds, and so much more."

With Trump "doubling down on his authoritarian tactics," the group continued, the need for sustained opposition has only grown more clear since the earlier actions.

Trump, said Invisible, "is disappearing immigrants to sprawling concentration camps, sending troops into our cities, threatening to interfere in elections, rigging maps to steal power from the voters, and orchestrating a massive giveaway to his billionaire allies as families struggle. Trump is ramping up his attacks on our rights and democracy, but we’re not backing down. On October 18, we're taking to the streets in more cities and in larger numbers to remind Trump, his cronies, and those on the sidelines looking for hope: America has no kings."
