Reclaiming Democracy, Rejecting Authoritarianism
On Saturday, October 18, 2025, people across the United States will mobilize again for No Kings, a nationwide, nonviolent day of action to defend democratic norms and reject authoritarianism. Organizers have announced thousands of coordinated events across all 50 states. Already, it’s projected to be the largest protest in U.S. history.
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. Recent events have highlighted the lawlessness of this administration. People have been unlawfully detained and even disappeared from the streets of our cities. Ice has become a private police force for our president. Billionaires, corporations, law firms and Universities have capitulated in short order. Â
“In America, we don’t do kings. On October 18th, we’re showing up to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings
