The third No Kings protests are expected to draw millions. Do they need clearer goals?
Quick Insights
The Bottom Line
A third wave of decentralized 'No Kings' protests is scheduled across the U.S. and 15+ countries, expecting millions of participants.
AI Summary
A third wave of "No Kings" protests is scheduled across the U.S. and at least 15 other countries on Saturday, with organizers expecting millions of participants following a movement that has grown rapidly since its launch in June to oppose Trump administration policies. The decentralized, leaderless movement deliberately operates without formal hierarchy or singular demands—a design choice organizers say is intentional rather than a weakness. The October protest drew an estimated 7 million participants, making it one of the largest demonstrations in recent U.S. history. Critics question whether the movement's broad, anti-authoritarian focus without specific policy goals risks diluting its political impact. The protest marks the latest flashpoint in sustained grassroots opposition to the Trump administration, with more than 3,100 events planned globally.
What's Being Done
More than 3,100 protest events are planned globally for Saturday as the movement continues opposing Trump administration policies.
