"The "No Kings" protests held on Saturday, June 14, 2025, saw an estimated 5 to 11 million people participating across more than 2,100 cities and towns in the United States, making it one of the largest single-day protest events in U.S. history. These demonstrations were organized by a coalition of over 200 groups, including the 50501 Movement, Indivisible, MoveOn, and the Working Families Party, among others. Participants gathered to oppose what they perceive as authoritarian policies under President Donald Trump's second term, particularly focusing on issues like immigration enforcement and democratic backsliding.
The protests were marked by a strong sense of patriotism and unity, with attendees waving American flags and carrying signs advocating for democracy and justice. Notable speakers, including actress Rosanna Arquette and screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, addressed crowds in cities like West Hollywood . While most rallies remained peaceful, there were reports of isolated incidents of political violence, including a shooting in Minnesota that resulted in the death of State Representative Melissa Hortman.
In Florida, including areas near Williston Highlands (voted overwhelmingly for Trump), local media outlets reported on hundreds of protesters participating in "Not My Presidents Day" protests, which were part of the broader "No Kings" movement
Overall, the "No Kings" protests on June 14, 2025, represented a significant moment of national dissent and civic engagement in response to the current political climate."
