As US President Donald Trump marked a military parade in Washington, DC, this June, around 5 million people across the country protested his administration. Now, amid an ongoing government shutdown and Trump’s push to deploy National Guard troops to cities, millions are preparing for a second wave of demonstrations.
Over 2,500 rallies are planned across all 50 states this Saturday, around 450 more than in June. Organizers say the “No Kings” protests aim to oppose what they call Trump’s “authoritarian” agenda. Some Republican leaders have labelled the protests anti-American.
Here are 10 of the best posters from “No Kings” protests, using wordplay and creativity to show opposition to authoritarianism , corruption, and threats to civil liberties.
The first round of protests followed hundreds of Trump’s executive orders targeting birthright citizenship, protections for transgender people, diversity initiatives, and more. Tensions over immigration reached a peak when Trump federalized the California National Guard against Governor Gavin Newsom’s wishes. ICE raids, media clashes, and attempts to deploy federal troops in Democratic-led cities have further stoked opposition.
Some Republicans have called the protests “Hate America” rallies, warning of agitators and Antifa involvement. Organizers stress that the demonstrations will be peaceful. Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible, said, “What we are expecting is millions of people around the country collectively showing up to oppose authoritarianism, corruption and attacks on our neighbors and our rights.”
The administration is expected to hold a military show of force in California on the same day. Meanwhile, Department of Homeland Security has issued guidelines to law enforcement to monitor for potential violence and ensure protests remain safe.
