Why did people participate in the ā€œNo Kingsā€ protests?

People participated in the ā€œNo Kingsā€ protests to oppose Trump administration policies and actions or, in the fourth event, to encourage early voting in the upcoming midterm elections. Participants in the first three protests raised concerns about immigration enforcement, National Guard deployments, and what they viewed as antidemocratic policies or excessive executive power. Immigration raids intensified between the June and October 2025 demonstrations. The March 2026 protest also included opposition to the 2026 Iran War, the rising cost of living, and continuing immigration enforcement activities. People participating in the fourth demonstration encouraged others to vote early in the upcoming midterm elections.
