America in the streets against Trump, 3,100 'No Kings' demonstrations today
millions of Americans are expected to take to the streets in the US today for new nationwide protests against Donald Trump, amid accusations of authoritarianism against the president and growing anger over the war against Iran launched together with Israel.
This is the third major mobilisation day in less than a year promoted by the grassroots 'No Kings' movement, which has become one of the most visible channels of the opposition to Trump since the start of his second term in January 2025.
According to organisers, more than 3,000 demonstrations are planned across the country, from the big cities to the suburbs and rural areas, with the aim of surpassing the turnout of previous protest days. The first had been held in June, coinciding with Trump's 79th birthday and the military parade he wanted in Washington. The second, in October, would have drawn some seven million people.
Also driving the new mobilisation is the war with Iran, which has added a new reason for protest against the president, accused of dragging the country deeper into the conflict while the goals and timing of the military campaign remain uncertain.
Trump's opponents denounce his systematic use of executive decrees, use of the Justice Department against opponents, support for fossil fuels and rejection of policies on racial and gender diversity, as well as what they see as a new military activism after a campaign conducted under the banner of peace.
