Protesters in the U.S. Organize Rallies Against Trump
- Mass demonstrations titled "No Kings" are planned across all states in the U.S.
- The protests are aimed at Trump's authoritarian actions and the military parade.
- State governors are mobilizing the National Guard to manage the situation during the rallies.
This is reported by Associated Press, The Guardian.
On Saturday, June 14, 2025, major demonstrations against President Donald Trump will take place across the United States. These events, called "No Kings," are scheduled in approximately 2,000 locations from major cities to small towns.
The demonstrations are a response to Trump's decision to hold a military parade in Washington, D.C. to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the army. Organizers are calling for nonviolence and expect millions to participate.
A week ago, Trump ordered the mobilization of the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles to handle protests against his immigration policies. This decision has sparked outrage among state governors who express concerns about the use of military force.
Governors of states like Texas and Florida are also mobilizing the National Guard to manage the protests. Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated that he would not allow violence, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis emphasized citizens' right to self-defense.
The main rally is planned in Philadelphia, where organizers estimate up to 100,000 people may gather. The Philadelphia District Attorney has warned that anyone who comes with the intent to break the law will be arrested.
The theme of the "No Kings" protests is aimed at condemning the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. Organizers believe that protesters have the right to express their opinions and call for peaceful actions.
Why are the protests called "No Kings"?
The name "No Kings" symbolizes a rejection of authoritarianism and a defense of democracy. Organizers believe that Trump's actions resemble royal rule rather than democratically elected leadership.
What is planned for the protests?
The events will include speeches, marches, and other activities. Participants are urged to adhere to nonviolence and not bring weapons.
These protests will be the largest since Trump returned to power. Organizers hope for millions of participants across the country.
