Millions to March in ‘No Kings’ Protests Against Trump’s Policies and Authoritarianism

LFP Rally Info 3:30PM Saturday, Oct. 18th

Wear yellow to your No Kings event. People around the world have used color to show collective strength in the face of oppression throughout history. Our movement is no different: We align ourselves with this historic context while taking a step into our shared future. **Think of it as a shared symbol. It does not need to be an entire outfit (but it could be ). A bandana, a hat, a shirt -- any bright pop of yellow will work perfectly.**

House Speaker Mike Johnson recently said, “This ‘Hate America’
rally that they have coming up for October 18. The antifa crowd and the
pro-Hamas crowd and the Marxists, they’re all gonna gather on the mall.
We got some House Democrats selling t-shirts for this event. It is an
outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes.” 

Millions of Americans are expected to march this Saturday in a renewed wave of “No Kings” protests against President Donald Trump’s administration. Organizers say the demonstrations—set to take place in 2,500 locations across the U.S., Canada, and Europe—could be the largest in the nation’s history.

Protesters are rallying against what they describe as Trump’s autocratic rule, his government shutdown, and cuts to public programs like Medicare and Medicaid, which they say benefit the wealthy at the expense of working Americans. Major anchor events are planned in Washington, D.C., Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, Boston, Kansas City, New Orleans, and Bozeman, Montana.

Lisa Gilbert of Public Citizen, one of the organizers, said the protests aim to “show massive agreement in rejecting a president who believes he is a king.” She urged Americans to take one new action—attend a rally, call their senators, or get involved locally—to resist what she called “America’s slide into fascism.”

The previous No Kings protests in June drew between three and six million people worldwide. Since then, Trump has faced growing criticism over expanded immigration raids, political retribution against opponents, and increased militarization of domestic policy.

Ellen Chapman of Indivisible, another organizing group, said Saturday’s rallies will emphasize building grassroots power and broad-based opposition across communities. “We can all agree on one thing,” she said. “In America, we don’t tolerate kings.”

Organizers stress the events will be nonviolent, with trained safety marshals and de-escalation teams on site. Despite fears of counter-protest violence, local leaders like Thadd Selden in Sacramento say participants should expect an uplifting and empowering day.

“When people come together in person, they realize they’re not alone,” Selden said. “That’s where courage starts.”
