More than 3,000 “No Kings” peaceful protests are scheduled today across the United States, including more than two dozen in New York City — most prominently at 7th Avenue and Central Park South at 2 pm — which organizers hope will draw even more than the seven million demonstrators who rallied at the last nationwide No Kings day last October 18. At least four million had attended the demonstrations on the first No Kings day, which took place on June 14, 2025, on the same day that Donald Trump scheduled a military parade in Washington, ostensibly for the Army’s 250th anniversary, which was also his 79th birthday.

The “No Kings Flagship Rally” at the Minnesota State Capitol at 3 pm EDT, featuring Minnesota officials as well as Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, and Jane Fonda, will be livestreamed in the video below.

“Masked secret police terrorizing our communities. An illegal, catastrophic war putting us in danger and driving up our costs. Attacks on our freedom of speech, our civil rights, our freedom to vote. Costs pushing families to the brink. Trump wants to rule over us as a tyrant. But this is America, and power belongs to the people – not to wannabe kings or their billionaire cronies.”
