‘#NoKings’ protests could draw historic turnout in pushback against #Trump, organizers say

"The anger level is way higher" than it was for June protests, which will drive up turnout, organizer says. Some Republicans accuse protesters of hating America.

"Though Oct. 18's 'No Kings' protests share a name with its predecessor, organizers are expecting an unmatched flood of people for what they believe will be the largest single day of protest in modern American history.

" 'The anger level is way higher' than it was in June for the last protests of the same name, said Public Citizen copresident Lisa Gilbert, one of the organizers. 'It's not just policies we don't like … but it's also actual chipping away at democracy, at foundational rights and prerogatives that we all expect. … People are saying 'I've never been moved to action before, but now I feel like I have to.'

"Things have changed in the past four months, organizers and activists told USA TODAY. The Trump administration has ramped up #ImmigrationEnforcement, sent #troops into several Democratic-controlled cities, made massive changes to American health care and eroded #FirstAmendment rights, they say.

" 'If you're not scared, you're not paying attention. These folks are serious. They are actively trying to take away your constitutional right to peaceful protest, and that is how authoritarian regimes work,' said Indivisible cofounder Ezra Levin, another of the organizers. 'They fear more than anything one thing, which is the mass, peaceful, organized population pushing back against their unpopular designs on the system.' "

#Midcoast #Maine communities participate in #NoKings Day of Peaceful Action

Several events are scheduled around Maine, including in #BathME, #BrunswickME, #FreeportME, #RocklandME and #WiscassetME.

October 14, 2025

"No Kings, a peaceful protest movement against the Trump administration, has recently announced there are now over 2,500 community events scheduled for its Day of Peaceful Action on Saturday, Oct. 18. These events are organized by average Americans across personal, political and geographic demographics in all 50 states.

"There are five event locations in the Midcoast: the corner of Main and School streets in Freeport, 8-11 a.m.; Wiscasset Bridge on Route 1, 10-11 a.m.; 191 Maine St., Brunswick, 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; Rockland’s Chapman Park, 294 Main St., noon to 1 p.m.; and Sagadahoc Bridge in Bath, 1-2 p.m. Go to nokings.org/#map to see all No Kings Day of Peaceful Action events.

"Building on the momentum of the June 14 day of action, which drew more than 5 million people across all 50 states, the #October18 mobilization is the next chapter in the No Kings movement. According to a prepared release, the aim of the Day of Peaceful Action is to send a unified message: We are a nation of equals, and our country will not be ruled by fear or force.

"Groups organizing the No Kings peaceful protests across the country include #ACLU, #AmericanFederationOfTeachers, #CommonDefense, #50501Movement, #HumanRightsCampaign, #Indivisible, #LeagueOfConservationVoters, #MoveOn, #NationalNursesUnited, #PublicCitizen, #SEIU and #UnitedWeDream, among others.

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