What is 'No Kings'?:

The "No Kings" movement was orchestrated by the 50501 Movement, a national movement claiming to stand for democracy and against what organizers call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration.

"The president thinks his rule is absolute," the No Kings website reads. "But in America, we don’t have kings — and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty."
