Where ‘No Kings’ protests are taking place across the US this weekend

  • New "No Kings" protests are scheduled nationwide this Saturday, with organizers expecting large crowds to demonstrate against what they perceive as the president's authoritarianism.
  • Over 3,100 individual protests are planned across the country, including significant events in Los Angeles County, a mass march near Central Park in New York City, and multiple demonstrations in Chicago.
  • These upcoming demonstrations follow previous "No Kings" events, with millions protesting in October and an initial wave occurring in June during the president's military parade in Washington.
  • Protest organizers cite grievances such as the administration's immigration crackdown, which included the fatal shootings of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and the recent Iran war involving U.S. and Israeli forces.
  • The president has previously dismissed the "No Kings" protests as "very small" and "very ineffective," asserting that he is not a king and works diligently to improve the country.
