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.”
