"Today we join millions of Americans speaking out to reclaim and defend our freedoms from the madness of a wannabe king. In America, power belongs to The People, and We The People will hold the powerful accountable,"
"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,"
"The No Kings protests are happening across the city today. The NYPD will be out to make sure everyone can peacefully and safely exercise their First Amendment right. As a reminder, there will be zero tolerance for any illegal activity or anyone who breaks the law."
Thousands of "No Kings" protests were held across the U.S. on Saturday in direct opposition to the Trump administration and its policies. Protesters, joined by local and state representatives, gathered in Times Square around 11 a.m., with additional marches across all five boroughs and a Staten Island rally outside Rep. Nicole Malliotakis' office. The demonstrations targeted the government shutdown, intensified immigration raids, and deployment of National Guard troops into cities. Organizers emphasized nonviolent action, de-escalation, lawful behavior, and a ban on weapons at events. The NYPD said it would ensure peaceful exercise of First Amendment rights while enforcing the law.
