Overview

• Organizers say roughly 2,500 No Kings events are set for Saturday across all 50 states with additional rallies in Europe and Canada.
• The coalition describes the day as a nonviolent pushback against what it calls President Trump’s authoritarian “power grabs.”
• Safety planning now includes mandatory host trainings, de‑escalation sessions, and on‑site marshals, a response to June incidents including a fatal shooting in Salt Lake City and armed counter‑protesters.
• Republican leaders including Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Tom Emmer have preemptively labeled the demonstrations a “hate‑America” rally and linked them to Antifa or “pro‑Hamas” elements.
• Local listings detail hundreds of sites, including more than 100 Michigan communities, multiple central Pennsylvania towns, and a Philadelphia march from City Hall to Independence Mall, while some analysts warn decentralized maps and unclear anchor events could thin turnout compared with June.
