The “No Kings” mobilization is a direct response to President Trump’s self-aggrandizing $100 million military parade and birthday celebration, an event funded by taxpayers while millions are told there’s no money for Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid, or public schools. Across all 50 states, communities will gather to declare: The president is not a king. No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like.

As part of the event, organizers are also launching a community food and essentials drive to support vulnerable populations impacted by recent federal cuts to nutrition and social service programs. Attendees are asked to bring nonperishable food items—including canned vegetables, beans, pasta, rice, peanut butter, canned meats, and shelf-stable milk—as well as socks, toothpaste, and menstrual hygiene products. Donations will be distributed to Food Not Bombs, the Houston Food Bank, local food pantries, and Meals on Wheels.

All No Kings events adhere to a shared commitment to nonviolent protest and community safety. Organizers are trained in de-escalation and are working closely with local partners to ensure peaceful and powerful actions nationwide.
