Protesters turned out at roughly 2,700 rallies around the country to celebrate free speech and protest many of the Trump administration's actions.

No Kings protests in Florida and across the US Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025. 100,000 in New York were at Anti-Trump rallies.

The two organizations running the event, Montgomery 50501 Freedom Fighters and Alabama Resisters of Indivisible, said that the protest event drew at least 743 citizens, though they expect the turnout may have actually been higher than that number.

Organizers said some 2,600 protests were planned in the U.S. on Saturday. The protests were largely peaceful, as demonstrators united in their stated aim to safeguard the country's democratic values.

An estimated 8,000 people marched through downtown Asheville Oct. 18 as part of the nationwide "No Kings" protest against the Trump admin's policies.

"No Kings” protests are planned for Dallas, but also North Texas suburbs, including Frisco, Arlington, Denton, Flower Mound, Forney, Garland and McKinney.

Protesters and runners will share Baltimore’s streets this weekend as the No Kings demonstration overlaps with the Baltimore Running Festival.
