No Kings protests took place across the country from New York City to Atlanta to Los Angeles. The 50501 Movement, which stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement, said the nationwide protests are aimed at calling attention to what they say are authoritarian actions of the Trump administration.

Thousands were on hand outside the Hawaii State Capitol on June 14, 2025 for the "No Kings" protest. "It's spanning from all the way across different sections and intersections. It's way too crowded by the capitol area, so people are spreading as far out as they can go," stated Honolulu City Councilmember Radiant Cordero.

Tens of thousands of Americans joined "No Kings" protests across the United States against the Trump administration.

Trump demonstrations are being planned around the country, as well as a military parade in Washington, D.C. Saturday is also President Trump's 79th birthday.
