"New York City will see another round of No Kings Day, protests this Saturday against President Donald Trump and his administration, with multiple events planned across the five boroughs. The nationwide mobilization was first announced on June 14, timed to coincide with President Trump's 79th birthday and the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary military parade in Washington. That day, nearly 2,000 protests were held nationwide, drawing millions of participants; New York's No Kings march alone hosted tens of thousands."
"Organizers encourage participants at the Oct. 18 No Kings marches to arrive early and follow posted guidance to ensure safety and peaceful conduct this Saturday. They stipulate that all No Kings events must remain nonviolent and emphasize community safety. The return of the national day of protest comes at a time when the White House has increased deportation efforts against undocumented Americans and the activation of the National Guard in Democratic-led cities a move considered by many to be an overreach of federal power."
Protests called No Kings Day will return nationwide on Oct. 18 with multiple events planned across the five boroughs of New York City. The mobilization was first announced on June 14 to coincide with President Trump's 79th birthday and the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary military parade; that day saw nearly 2,000 protests nationwide and millions of participants, including tens of thousands in New York. Organizers urge early arrival, adherence to posted guidance, and strict nonviolence to ensure safety and peaceful conduct. The protests respond to increased deportation efforts and National Guard activations in Democratic-led cities, which many view as federal overreach. House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized the protests on Fox News, alleging without evidence ties to pro-Hamas and antifa groups. The No Kings coalition issued a statement in response.
