"More than 2,600 rallies are planned in cities large and small, organised by hundreds of coalition partners. The rallies started outside the US, with a couple of hundred protesters gathering outside the US embassy in London, and hundreds more holding demonstrations in Madrid and Barcelona. By Saturday morning in Northern Virginia, many protesters were walking on overpasses across roads heading into Washington, DC."
More than 2,600 No Kings rallies are planned across the United States, organised by hundreds of coalition partners, with gatherings in major and smaller cities. Protesters convened internationally in London, Madrid and Barcelona and assembled in US locations including Northern Virginia and Times Square, New York. The mobilisation is the third mass protest since Trump's return to the White House and takes place amid a government shutdown that has closed federal programmes and services and is testing the balance of power. Demonstrators cite immigration, education and security policies and warn of a slide toward authoritarianism, while some political leaders join the events.
