The best-known “No Kings” protests so far happened on two main dates in 2025: June 14, 2025 (“No Kings Day”) and October 18, 2025 (“No Kings 2.0”). For 2026, organizers and commentators have floated ideas for another round (sometimes called “No Kings 3”), but as of now there is no single, officially confirmed nationwide date that matches the scale of June or October 2025.

What “No Kings” Refers To

  • The No Kings protests are large, coordinated demonstrations criticizing what participants describe as authoritarian or “monarch‑like” behavior by President Donald Trump during his second term.
  • The original nationwide No Kings protests were scheduled to coincide with symbolic dates like Trump’s birthday and major patriotic events (for example, the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade on June 14, 2025).

Past No Kings Protest Dates

  • June 14, 2025: Branded “No Kings Day,” with demonstrations across the United States and some international solidarity events.
  • October 18, 2025: “No Kings 2.0” or “No Kings Day 2.0,” with roughly 2,600–2,700 planned events nationwide and participation by major civil liberties and labor groups.

Talk About Future Dates

  • Commentators and activists have discussed tying future No Kings actions to major anniversaries like July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, sometimes suggesting a blend of patriotic celebration and anti‑authoritarian protest.
  • Some forum discussions speculate about a “No Kings 3” in early or mid‑2026, mentioning Saturdays such as June 20 or June 27, 2026 as likely targets for high turnout, but these are speculative and not official national calls to action.

How To Find The Next Protest Near You

  • Check national‑level civil liberties or progressive organizations (e.g., ACLU state chapters, Indivisible, teachers’ unions, and voting‑rights groups), as many helped organize previous No Kings dates.
  • Look at local events pages for your city or region (city‑level ACLU/NYCLU, community coalitions, or local “No Kings”/pro‑democracy groups), because many protests are branded “No Kings” locally even if there is no single national day announced yet.

Quick recap

  • Main past dates: June 14, 2025 and October 18, 2025.
  • 2026: Future “No Kings” actions are being discussed, but definitive nationwide dates are not locked in; check local organizers for the most current information.
