From one side of the country to the other, Americans are taking to the streets today in the “No Kings” protests, which are one of the biggest organized days of political action in U.S. history.
Over 3,200 events are happening in cities and small towns across all 50 states, as people come together to show opposition to Trump’s war in Iran, his mass deportations, attacks on democracy, and his push for more power.
People of all ages and backgrounds are filling the streets with handmade signs and some are dressed in costumes, shouting slogans as cars pass by and honk in support.
In Washington DC, around 200,000 people have gathered near the Capitol.
In New York City, famous actor Robert De Niro marched with Rev. Al Sharpton and New York Attorney General Letitia James through midtown Manhattan to lead a rally that has drawn more than 300,000 people.
In Minnesota, the main rally in St. Paul has brought in up to 100,000 people, including Bruce Springsteen, who will perform his new song “Streets of Minneapolis.”
The song was written after the deaths of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti.
More than 92,000 people came out in Athens, Georgia, 25,000 in San Diego, 20,000 in Kansas City, and 15,000 in Houston, Texas.
In Hagerstown, a city of 40,000 in a part of Maryland that usually votes for Trump, over 1,000 protesters with signs and costumes showed up at a busy intersection.
Local representatives and members of the Coalition to Stop the Camps spoke, as the group is fighting against a planned ICE detention center near the city.
This is the third “No Kings” Day, following earlier nationwide rallies in June and October of 2025.
Today is the biggest so far, with anger towards Trump and his leadership growing across the world, calling for an end to his authoritarian rule, his cruel immigration policies, and his dangerous military actions in other countries.
In the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Greece, Belgium, Mexico, Japan, and Australia, people marched in the streets carrying signs that criticize Trump and his war with Iran.
About 500,000 people gathered in London today, which is expected to be the biggest multicultural march in UK history.
