"No Kings Day" is a term used by organizers for a series of national political protests held during the second presidency of Donald Trump. There is no single recurring annual date; instead, the events have coincided with significant political milestones and are planned for upcoming dates in 2026.

Previous and Upcoming Dates

The movement launched in mid-2025 to protest what participants characterized as authoritarian policies.

  • June 14, 2025: The inaugural "No Kings Day" took place on President Trump's 79th birthday, coinciding with the U.S. Army's 250th Anniversary Parade.
  • October 18, 2025: A second mass mobilization, referred to as "No Kings 2.0," saw millions of participants at over 2,700 events across all 50 states.
  • January 2026: Online forum discussions indicate that a "No Kings 3" event is being planned for early 2026.
  • July 4, 2026: Organizers and supporters have called for a major "No Kings" commemoration to align with the 250th anniversary of the United States' Declaration of Independence.

Purpose and Organization

The movement is led by a coalition of advocacy groups, including Indivisible, the ACLU, and Reproductive Freedom for All. Participants use the slogan "No Thrones, No Crowns, No Kings" to advocate for constitutional checks on executive power. While some organizers have suggested aligning future protests with Martin Luther King Jr. Day to honor civil rights, others prefer Saturdays in late June or July 4th to maximize public participation.
