The third No Kings day of action brought massive crowds into the streets in what organizers are calling the largest single day of nonviolent protest in American history. Watch the videos of No Kings protests in cities across the country and around the world.
More than 3,300 events took place across all 50 states, with sister demonstrations in Mexico, Canada, Australia, Japan, Costa Rica, and cities throughout Western Europe.

The flagship rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, drew enormous crowds to the state Capitol — a location chosen to honor Renée Good and Alex Pretti, two American citizens killed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis in January. Bruce Springsteen debuted his protest anthem “Streets of Minneapolis” to a sea of signs and flags, joined by Joan Baez, Maggie Rogers, and Jane Fonda.
Sen. Bernie Sanders and Gov. Tim Walz addressed the crowd. But St. Paul was just one piece of a nationwide wave. Massive marches wound through New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., while thousands more filled streets in smaller cities and suburbs — including deep-red communities where organizers say more than half of Saturday’s events were registered.
The grievances driving this movement have only deepened since the first No Kings protest drew 5 million people last June and the second brought out an estimated 7 million in October.
The U.S. war with Iran has sent gas prices soaring and put American troops at risk of a ground deployment. ICE operations have expanded into airports and cities nationwide.
The Department of Homeland Security has been shut down for over a month. And Trump’s approval ratings have hit their lowest point since he returned to office. People showed up Saturday not over any single issue, but over all of them — carrying signs about immigration, war, voting rights, the economy, and the Epstein files.
The videos of No Kings protests below capture what that looks like when it spills into the streets. From military mothers in Missouri to 81-year-old Vietnam-era activists in Manhattan, from drag queens marching down Market Street in San Francisco to thousands lining PGA Boulevard just miles from Mar-a-Lago, these are the faces and voices of a movement that keeps growing — no matter how many times the White House tries to wave it away.
