Millions nationwide protested on June 14, including thousands in NJ. What was "No Kings" and what was the turnout? Here's NJ pics, more.

ANN ARBOR, MI — Ann Arbor’s “No Kings” protest on Saturday largely took aim at President Donald Trump, but two of the event’s speakers went off script with a different message.

Between activism, election results and protest turnout, the prevailing political winds suggest the backlash to the president is real.

Evanston joined cities across the nation in holding a “No Kings” rally June 14, 2025, to protest Trump Administration actions.

Minutes after Atlanta’s “No Kings” protest began, organizers announced that the venue’s 5,000-person capacity had been reached.

“The most threatening sound to an oligarch is laughter.”

"We are here today in Tacoma saying we will not yield to that darkness in the smallest dimension," said former governor Jay Inslee.

The"No Kings" protests are planned to oppose what they see as Trump's power grab. The number of planned events is nearly double that of the April 5 "Hands Off" protest that saw millions of Americans turn out in big and small cities nationwide.
