Thousands of protesters will be gathering Saturday across Florida from the state Capitol and major cities to the small towns for the No Kings movement.<\/p>\n

The rallies are protesting President Donald Trump and mobilizing voters ahead of the Nov. 3 General Election.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor over a year, millions of people have come together to send a clear message: in America, we have no kings. Power does not belong to billionaires, strongmen, or politicians who believe they are above accountability,\u201d No Kings said on its website.<\/p>\n

The No Kings rallies taking place Saturday include one from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Orlando City Hall<\/a>, before the Orlando Pride parade rolls through downtown, and one from 9:30 a.m. to noon at Gainesville\u2019s<\/a> Cora P. Roberson Park.<\/p>\n

The Florida Historic Capitol<\/a> is the site for a rally from 10 a.m. to noon.<\/p>\n

In St. Petersburg, one rally is from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Spa Beach<\/a> while two are scheduled for Tampa from 1 to 3 p.m. at Tampa City Hall<\/a> followed by 4 to 6 p.m. at Centennial Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Jacksonville, the first rally runs 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at a private location<\/a> followed by a rally 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Duval County Courthouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More than a dozen protests are planned in South Florida.<\/p>\n

Other protests are also happening in rural and suburban towns outside the major Florida metros.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 3, Florida voters will be deciding high-profile races from Governor and U.S. Senator down to state lawmakers, City Councils and School Boards. In many parts of the state, early voting is beginning ahead of Election Day. Florida Democratic Party leaders have expressed optimism they could break the Republican supermajority in the Legislature after years of bad defeats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last No Kings rallies held in March drew thousands of Floridians to march and make cheeky signs across Orlando, South Florida, Tampa Bay and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The national movement began in 2025 on Trump\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever,\u201d No Kings said previously on its website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thousands of protesters will be gathering Saturday across Florida from the state Capitol and major cities to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":430671,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[409,2496,116,3852,139,807,202,204,203,199,201,200,135],"class_list":["post-430670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-donald-trump","tag-gainesville","tag-jacksonville","tag-no-kings","tag-orlando","tag-south-florida","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news","tag-tampa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
