2025 No Kings protests

A series of protests that happened on June 14, and October 18 2025 are known as No Kings protests, No Dictators protests or No Tyrants protests. People protested against president Donald Trump, because they said his presidency has become more and more authoritarian and that there is corruption in his administration. Most of the protests took place in the United States. In places, which are formally ruled by a King (such as Canada), or where there was a King (such as Hawaii), they were usually called No tyrants protests, or no dictators protests. This was done because people wanted to make it clear that they didn't demostrate against the king, but against the policies of president Trump. In June, there was a parade in honor of 250 years of existence of the US miliary. On the same day, there were an estimated 2100 protests in different cities, with between 4 and 6mililon participants. On october 18, there was a second day of protests, with even more participants. There were an estimated 2700 protests, with an estimated 7 million participants. Many people used social media to share information about the protests and to plan local events. The protests in October took place in all 50 states, as well as some overseaes territories, such as Guam, Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands.

In June people said they were protesting against the way in which Trump organized a military parade, and not against the parade or the U.S. military.
