Overview

• An estimated five million people joined over 2,000 largely peaceful protests on June 14 across all 50 states.
• Rallies were driven by a coalition that included Indivisible, the American Civil Liberties Union and the 50501 Movement opposing mass deportations, high tariffs and deficit-blowing tax cuts.
• ‘No Kings Day’ turnout eclipsed President Trump’s military parade marking the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary, which drew sparse crowds and accusations of self-promotion.
• Conservative voices such as David French argued the president’s personal imprint on the parade undermined its unifying intent.
• Observers hailed the demonstrations as proof of Americans’ ability to dissent freely and the robustness of constitutional rights.
