New York State is preparing for what could be the largest anti-Trump march in history.
The “No Kings” protests are set for Saturday across the country and in New York State.
No Kings Protests Planned Across New York State
Organizers say it’s part of a national push to “defend democracy” and reject what they call King-like behavior from President Donald Trump.
“As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again,” organizers wrote on their website. “America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.”

The “No Kings” movement first gained attention in June when thousands marched on Trump’s birthday — and now, they say, they’re back to remind the president that America “has no kings.
Now, organizers say they’re ramping up again because Trump is “doubling down — sending militarized agents into our communities, silencing voters, and handing billionaires giveaways while families struggle.”
