WASHINGTON, D.C. – Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets from Times Square to the National Mall on Saturday, waving flags and holding signs calling for accountability and democracy during nationwide “No Kings Day” protests.
What is No Kings Day?
“No Kings Day” is a coordinated, nationwide protest movement centered on the idea that no leader should be above the law. Organizers describe it as a day to reaffirm democratic principles, emphasizing equality, accountability and the role of the press in a free society.
The demonstrations — held in major cities from coast to coast — combined rallies, marches and art displays. Participants often carried flags or posters featuring phrases like “No Kings in America” and “Fight Truth Decay.”
