No Kings protests are taking place nationwide today, with organisers expecting large turnout across thousands of locations.
The No Kings coalition has organised three major mobilisations since last summer. Demonstrations have focused on opposition to the Trump administration’s immigration policies and more recently the war in Iran.
Nearly 300 partner organisations, including the ACLU, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, SEIU and the League of Women Voters, are involved, with events taking place in over 3,000 locations across both urban and rural areas.
Recent polling from Reuters/Ipsos shows Donald Trump’s approval rating at 36%, with 29% approving of his handling of the economy.
As with many protest movements, questions remain about how public demonstrations may translate into longer-term political impact. Past movements have shown mixed results in turning large-scale turnout into electoral change.
With the midterm elections approaching, the political significance of these protests, if any, is likely to become clearer over time.
