Nashville's No Kings protest sees large turnout despite spotty weather
- On June 14, 2025, over 1,000 people gathered peacefully at Nashville's Bicentennial Mall for the nationwide No Kings protest against President Trump's military parade and immigration policies.
- The protest arose from opposition to escalating military displays, federal deportations, and a $45 million parade seen as prioritizing spectacle over public needs during Filipino Independence and Pride Months.
- Demonstrators, described as diverse, intergenerational, and multiracial, used music, dancing, flowers, and chants to emphasize peaceful resistance while organizers warned against government repression and military overreach.
- Activist Monaeka Flores stated, "We will not be silenced by fear, by intimidation," highlighting immigration raids as cruel acts affecting brown, Black, Filipino, Haitian, and Latin American communities with families being torn apart.
- The event's implications include sustained resistance to perceived authoritarianism, calls to protect constitutional rights, and awareness of a nationwide movement with thousands of protests opposing executive power expansion.
