When will the No Kings protests take place in the US? Here's everything we know so far

Another No Kings protest will take place across the US on October 18th. Large numbers of protesters are expected to voice their disapproval of the Donald Trump administration’s policies. According to the organizers, the protest will possibly become the “largest peaceful demonstration in modern American history”, as mentioned by Leah Greenberg, the co-executive director of Indivisible. The rallies and marches will be held to celebrate free speech and the right to assemble, and the focus will be broadly on the First Amendment. In addition, citizens will also voice their opinions against the president’s recent moves, including increased immigration enforcement, as per USA Today.

The No Kings protest organizers described the event on the official website as: “The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down from chaos, corruption and cruelty.” The organizers used the phrase No Kings to demonstrate how they believe Trump is acting like a monarch instead of a democratically elected leader. White House response to the No Kings protests While many Americans prepare for the protests on Saturday, the White House also responded to No Kings. When asked about the accusations against Donald Trump that he is a dictator and a monarch, spokeswoman Abigail Jackson responded with “Who cares?” She declined to comment further on the matter, NPR reported. The Republicans called the rallies anti-American. The Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, previously described the No Kings protests as “a hate-America rally” while in his conversation with Fox News. Meanwhile, ahead of the protests, the organizers held a safety and security training last week, which would help the protesters “practice de-escalation for any scenarios that may arise” during the event.
