Millions of Americans are expected to participate in mass demonstrations across the country Oct. 18 to protest actions by the Trump administration and the U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement.
Organizers have branded Saturday’s rallies under the “No Kings” moniker, which are scheduled across dozens of Indiana cities that include Indianapolis, Bloomington, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Muncie and South Bend.
The first “No Kings” protests drew more than 4,000 people to the Indiana Statehouse on June 14.

What are ‘No Kings’ protests?
The protest’s organizer, Indivisible, originally planned the June 14 demonstration as a “nationwide day of defiance” in response to the $40 million military parade President Donald Trump orchestrated on his birthday.
The movement preaches the idea that “America has No Kings,” and says, “Now, President Trump has doubled down,” referencing the recent actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, healthcare cuts and more.
“The president thinks his rule is absolute,” the site says. “But in America, we don’t have kings and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption and cruelty.”
