"The second round of "No Kings" rallies will take place on Saturday, October. 18 with demonstrations planned at Father Duffy Square on Broadway and West 47th St. in Manhattan from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and in Brooklyn at Grand Army Plaza from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. In addition, there will be a rally at the Rockaway Beach Amphitheater from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., according to Mobilize.us."
"No Kings is a coalition of numerous progressive and pro-democracy organizations, led and coordinated by the national organizing group Indivisible. In the first No Kings protests in June, millions of people peacefully demonstrated against what they say are authoritarian policies of President Donald Trump. The protests were held on the same day as the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade on Trump's 79th birthday."
"A large gathering planned on the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol drew the ire of House Speaker Mike Johnson, who told Fox News Friday that although he is "a very patient guy," he has "had it with these people." He called the Saturday protest a "Hate America rally" staged by "all the pro-Hamas wing and the antifa people." "They're all coming out," Johnson said."
