A group called “No Kings” has scheduled more than 80 rallies across Florida on Saturday, October 18, 2025, as part of a nationwide series of protests, according to WUSF.
On October 18, 2025, over 2,500 ‘No Kings’ protests are taking place across all 50 states in the United States. These events are organized by a coalition of groups. The protests are anticipated to be one of the largest single-day demonstrations in American history, with millions expected to attend.
The October 18 protests are over policies linked to President Donald Trump, which the organizers claim threaten democracy, immigrant rights, healthcare, and environmental protections.
The rallies will take place in cities across Florida from Pensacola to Key West, with participants gathering at public sites, Tallahassee Democrat reports.
The “No Kings” movement describes its actions as a response to what it calls authoritarian excesses and corruption by the Trump administration, alleging impacts on elections, social programs, and vulnerable communities.
The group’s website, nokings.org, states, “On October 18, millions of us are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.”
The events are planned to be nonviolent, with organizers asking attendees to avoid weapons and de-escalate any potential conflicts.
Claims have been made about external funding for the protests, including involvement from Soros foundations.
Purpose of the October 18 Protests
According to “No Kings” materials, the rallies focus on policies the group says favor authoritarianism over democratic principles. Specific issues include alleged plans to target immigrant families, gut healthcare and environmental protections, threaten elections, and increase costs for the public while benefiting wealthy allies.
