“No Kings” movement gains national momentum
The protests are part of the third day of actions by the “No Kings” movement, which has achieved large-scale mobilization across the country.
According to organizers, at least eight million people participated in more than 3,300 protests across all 50 states.
The coalition behind the movement is made up of around 400 groups, including Amnesty International, Indivisible, labor unions, and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
Organizers stated that this turnout surpassed previous demonstrations by the same movement.
In October, they reported seven million participants in 2,700 events.
In June 2025, the figure was five million protesters across 2,100 locations.
Participants denounced what they describe as an “illegal war” initiated by Trump a month ago in Iran.
They also pointed to economic impacts such as rising fuel prices and inflation.
Additionally, they reiterated criticism of alleged abuses by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The main mobilization took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In that city, tens of thousands gathered amid national outrage against ICE and the Border Patrol.
The protest is linked to the deaths of US citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti in January, further amplifying the significance of the No Kings movement.
