'No Kings' protests are in these 81 Florida cities. Where to find one near you

On Saturday, millions of Americans frustrated with President Donald Trump and his administration’s immigration crackdowns, ICE and National Guard deployments, on-again-off-again tariffs, and his perceived control over all three branches of the U.S. government will be gathering again to protest in cities across the country.

About 2,500 “No Kings” protests are expected to happen Oct. 18, according to the “No Kings” website, including more than 80 in Florida.

Here’s what to know.

‘No Kings’ protests planned in Florida: Know these Florida laws, safety tips before you go

What are Florida laws on protests?

Protesting is protected in the United States by the First Amendment provided streets and government buildings are not blocked, but Florida also restricts protests within 500 feet of a residence, cemetery, funeral home, house of worship, or other location when a funeral or burial has just occurred, will occur soon, or is occurring.

Florida also comes down hard on anything perceived as rioting, with penalties against anyone involved in the protest where it occurred..

And, as of this year, Florida has the HALO Law which requires everyone to move 25 feet away from a first responder, including law enforcement, if asked to. The law is intended to protect first responders but critics worry that it will prevent anyone from shooting video or pictures of ICE arrests or police brutality.

The “No Kings” website tells participants not to bring any weapons, to always act in accordance with local laws, and de-escalate any potential confrontation with law enforcement or anti-protesters.
