On October 18, thousands marched in major US cities and abroad under the banner “No Kings,” calling out what they see as President Trump’s authoritarian approach. Peaceful crowds gathered nationwide and overseas to make their voices heard. 🎤✊
From New York and Los Angeles to Chicago and Washington, D.C., young activists, families and long-time organizers held signs denouncing the administration’s immigration crackdown, prosecutions of political opponents and the controversial deployment of federal troops at earlier protests.
Across the Atlantic, solidarity rallies in London, Berlin and other capitals echoed the US demonstrations. Chants of “No Kings” rang out as crowds shared livestreams and photos online, proving grassroots energy knows no borders. 🌍🔥
Building on the momentum of June’s “No Kings” actions, organizers say these peaceful October rallies deliver a clear message: when citizens feel their voices are silenced, they’ll take to the streets.
As the political landscape heats up, this new wave of protests shows that young people and activists aren’t backing down. Whether in hometown squares or foreign capitals, the “No Kings” spirit is shaping conversations and reminding leaders that power belongs to the people. ✨💬
