JAKARTA - Millions of people are expected to take to the streets across the United States on Saturday in the third national "No Kings" action, to voice their rejection of President Donald Trump's policies.
The protests were held in all 50 US states as well as 16 other countries, marking one of the most coordinated protests in the country's history.
The organizers of the action, which included the anti-authoritarian organization Indivisible and 50501, then trade unions, and other grassroots groups, reported more than 3,000 demonstrations taking place across the US.
According to local media reports, the previous "No Kings" protest in October 2025 was followed by 7 million protesters across the US.
The demonstration was held amid a plunge in public satisfaction with Trump, even coupled with a number of his hard-line supporters who also expressed frustration.
Complaints highlighted by Trump's critics in this rally include conflicts with Iran that killed 13 US personnel, rising prices for goods and oil, import tariffs that affect daily goods, and security screening lines at airports that are clogged due to a deadlock in budget discussions.
According to the Washington Post, thousands of people gathered in front of the Minnesota state Capitol for the main "No Kings" protest action, which was called by the founder of the organization Indivisible Ezra Levin as "the largest protest in Minnesota history".
Meanwhile in Washington DC, dozens of Palestinian mothers demonstrated in front of the Lincoln Memorial monument by waving giant Palestinian flags, according to The Guardian.
"Most Americans don't know that our tax money is used to subsidize violent acts," said a protester, Hazami Barmada (43), as reported by The Guardian.
"This is happening when many Americans can't pay for housing, milk, schools, or health services. Prices go up when we are at war in Israel's war," said Barmada.
Meanwhile, CNN reported counter-protests at a number of points, such as in West Palm Beach, Florida, where about 50 Trump supporters with "Proud Boys" hats faced off against "No Kings" protesters.
The "No Kings" coalition stressed that their protest was non-violent, with all forms of weapons banned and the leaders of the action given conflict de-escalation training.
During the first "No Kings" rally in June 2025, a protester was killed and another was injured by a 50501 volunteer who fired his weapon after seeing someone carrying a firearm at a rally in Salt Lake City, Utah.
