Anti-Authoritarian Rallies Gain Momentum Across the Globe
Millions expected to join the third 'No Kings' protests, a decentralized movement standing up to authoritarian rule. Organizers discuss the movement's broad objectives and lack of formal leadership.
The anti-authoritarian 'No Kings' movement is set to hold its third and largest round of protests this Saturday, with over 3,100 rallies scheduled across the US and 15 other countries. Launched in June 2025 to oppose Trump administration policies, the movement has grown rapidly, with the last protest in October 2025 drawing an estimated 7 million participants.
Organizers say the decentralized nature of the protests, with no single leader or organization in charge, is a key part of the movement's design. Broad objectives such as standing up to authoritarian rule and promoting democratic values have resonated widely, leading to the expected record turnout for this weekend's events.
