No Kings Day Protest - June 14th, 2025
Reclaiming Democracy, Rejecting Authoritarianism
On Saturday, June 14, 2025, citizens across the United States will come together for No Kings Day, a nationwide day of peaceful protest. This date, which coincides with Flag Day and former President Donald Trump's birthday, has been chosen to oppose the increasing authoritarianism and the militarization of American democracy.
The protests are a response to a planned military parade in Washington, D.C., featuring tanks and troops, which critics view as an attempt to project authoritarian strength. Read more.

Why We're Protesting
The No Kings movement stands against the glorification of authoritarian displays and the erosion of democratic values. We believe that power resides with the people, not with a singular authority.
This day of action is about promoting unity and encouraging citizens from all backgrounds to stand together against threats to democracy.
“In America, we don’t do kings. On June 14th, we're showing up everywhere he isn't—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings.”
