Demonstrators across the country and the globe will protest against Donald Trump on Saturday at over 3,000 planned events.
Millions are expected to gather across the country and around the world on Saturday for a third round of “No Kings” protests against Donald Trump. Organizers predict that it will be the “single largest non-violent day of action” in American history.
Saturday’s “No Kings” marches, of which there are more than 3,200 planned across all 50 states and several continents, come as Trump faces increasing scrutiny over the war with Iran, the rising cost of gas and how his administration has executed its mass deportation agenda.
“Since the last No Kings [protests], we’re seeing higher gas prices and groceries, all while there’s an illegal war in Iran,” Sarah Parker, a national coordinator for the group 50501, told reporters Thursday on a national press call previewing Saturday’s events.
I hope people use this opportunity to organize.

To head off the “What’s the point” comments. Events like this bring people together. They make contacts and help with greater organization.
It also helps people remember that they aren’t alone. In a world that appears to be designed to isolate people, these protests provide a counter.
I’m so tired of these defeatest, naysaying keyboard warrior pukes shitting on these protest events.
These stupid fucks demand revolution but have absolutely zero concept of organizing or things taking time to execute.
They also won’t be the ones fighting in a revolution. They’re chocken-hawks eager to send others to die just like Trump
Always ask them “What’s your plan?” That usually shuts them up or makes them admit they have no plans.
Them people are for kings. They just pretend to not care, but in reality they are fighting on the same side as evil.
And it’s worked before. The protests largely helped end the Vietnam war. Women got the right to vote because enough people spoke up. The civil rights act was passed. Enough small ripples in the same direction can produce a crashing tsunami.
Mainly because those in charge cared about how it looked towards them. This adminstration doesn’t give a flying fuck.
And you think Nixon did?
The same people who say, "What’s the point?’ are the same people who say, “I don’t know any leftists in my area. I don’t know how to meet any any other “real” leftists irl”.
If they went to local protests, they’d meet those other leftists. Networking absolutely occurs at these events.
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying
Good to see.
Good luck seppos, I hope this gets the media coverage it deserves, and advances your cause.
Hoping this is true, but it seems a bit silly to report that the organizers are saying it’s the largest ever. Have you ever heard of event organizers going, “yeah, the last one had way more people, but this one will be fine”.
There’s more than two ways to describe expected turnout
I was just making a funny, not being serious lol. I don’t honestly expect them to do anything differently
Oh wow good one
Thanks man, I’m a goddamn comedian
The largest pressure release value in US history. People don’t realize their anger and frustration is being neutered by the system they oppose.
as someone who doesn’t agree with you, it is an interesting metaphor. Non-violence is what many people believe. Turning anger into non-violent action is what you are witnessing.
Not a single right we have has ever been achieved with non violence. Nothing has ever been granted by pleading with the state.
The problem is everyone thinks violence is things like broken glass. Violence from the state comes in many forms, poverty, homelessness, hunger, economic, physical, and psychological.
The only forms we can exercise is economic and broken glass.
