Tensions Rise Ahead of 'No Kings' Protests: What to Know
Organizers expect millions to participate nationwide to oppose Trump’s authoritarian measures, including crackdowns on constitutional rights, with turnout expected to surpass 5 million, NBC News reported.
- The 50501 Movement is organizing a nationwide day of demonstrations on Saturday, October 18, 2025, with events planned in more than 2,500 locations including Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., expecting to exceed 5,000,000 participants.
- Organizers frame the demonstrations as a response to what they describe as President Donald Trump's crackdown on First Amendment rights and executive overreach; this is the second "No Kings" protest and third mass movement against the administration this year amid rising federal conflicts.
- With American Civil Liberties Union support, organizers offered virtual safety trainings, implemented safety plans with designated medics and emergency meeting spots, and enforced a weapons ban to ensure nonviolent protests.
- Recent clashes have seen Los Angeles police and Portland officers use tear gas, federal immigration agents apply physical force in Chicago and Portland, and Chicago record more than 1,000 arrests.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson called the protests the 'Hate America rally' at a Wednesday news conference, and organizers say success means increased political engagement.
