Highlights From 'No Kings Day' Protests Around the US

On Saturday, June 14, nearly 2,000 'No Kings Day' protests against President Donald Trump took place across the U.S., coinciding with the Army's 250th anniversary and Trump's 79th birthday.
Organizers planned the protests in response to Trump's request for a costly military parade in Washington, D.C., which many viewed as government overreach conflicting with ongoing unrest over immigration and National Guard deployments.
The mostly peaceful demonstrations included thousands in cities like Idaho Falls, Pocatello, and Driggs, with participants denouncing authoritarianism and demanding democracy, while some faced counter-protesters and police presence.
Protesters raised alarms about authoritarian governance, breaches of constitutional rights, and financial misconduct; one organizer emphasized their intention to show that collective citizen action can successfully challenge attempts at autocratic control, underscoring the importance of active public participation.
The events aimed to build community awareness against authoritarianism, encouraging education and organizing, and reflected a nationwide resistance rejecting strongman politics amid the military parade celebrations.
