A landmark wave of demonstrations under the banner of the “No Kings” and 50501 movements is building momentum: there are now more than 1,600 planned anti‑Trump protests across the United States and internationally—fully mobilizing across all 50 states and commonwealths.
What’s fueling the movement?
The protests are directly countering former President Trump’s planned Washington, D.C. military parade set for June 14—his 79th birthday coinciding with the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.
Coordinator voices:
Organizers with “No Kings” label the parade a symbol of “authoritarianism” and a “made-for‑TV display of dominance,” while affiliates of 50501 assert this nationwide effort is among the largest coordinated anti‑Trump protests in history.
Geographic spread:
More than 1,600 separate protests are currently scheduled: from major metro areas to small towns—including satellite rallies across Europe—with coordinated events planned for June 14.
Why This Matters:
This marks a coordinated national uprising targeted at a single event—the military spectacle in D.C.—demonstrating unprecedented grassroots unity.
The scale rivals, and possibly surpasses earlier landmark days of protest like April 5's Hands Off! demonstrations, which drew approximately 1,400–1,600 rallies across all 50 states.
With reports indicating millions could participate in total, this signals a pivotal moment in sustained anti‑Trump organizing leading up to the 2025 election cycle.
