No Kings Rallies: Millions March in 3,000+ US Events

The No Kings protests swept the country Saturday, with organizers saying nearly 7 million people joined more than 3,000 events in all 50 states. What began as a show of opposition to President Donald Trump’s immigration and civil-rights policies became an early-voting push with the midterms now just weeks away.

A Peaceful Day, Largely Without Incident

Organizers said the vast majority of the demonstrations were peaceful. Police in most cities reported no arrests, though a handful of confrontations with counter-protesters were reported in a few locations.

Crowd estimates released by organizers put attendance at roughly 7 million — a figure that, if accurate, would rank among the largest single-day protest turnouts in U.S. history.

Star Power and a Voting Message

The rallies drew celebrity firepower: Senator Bernie Sanders and Governor Tim Walz addressed crowds in the Midwest, while Bruce Springsteen performed at the flagship New York City event.

The message from organizers was clear: take Saturday’s energy to the ballot box. With early voting already underway in many states, leaders urged attendees to bring friends and family to the polls.
