What are the anti-Trump ‘No Kings’ protests on June 14?
“No Kings National Day of Defiance” — or simply protests called “No Kings” — seeks to counter Trump’s multimillion-dollar military parade in D.C. These protests are being planned nationwide on Saturday, June 14, which also falls on Flag Day, the Army’s 250th anniversary celebration, and Trump’s birthday.
“No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like,” according to nokings.org.
The website notes they expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with its values and to act lawfully at these events. They advise that weapons should not be brought to the protest.
Who are the organizers, website behind the ‘No Kings’ protests?
Indivisible is partnering with 50501 and dozens of other advocacy groups to promote the anti-Trump movement nationwide.
Indivisible, a grassroots political activism group focused on progressive causes, was founded in response to Trump’s 2016 presidential election. The network has branched into a statewide network of groups, including over 75 in Florida.
The 50501 Movement is a grassroots initiative formed on Reddit under the hashtag #50501 in the early days of Trump’s second inauguration. It stands for 50 protests in 50 states on 1 day, which has since evolved to 50 states, 50 protests, and one movement.
