"No Kings" protest events planned for June 14
On June 14, 2025, protesters will mobilize for at least 1,900 events in 1,700 cities, marking a significant opposition to President Trump's administration. The nationwide demonstrations will coincide with a military parade in Washington and increased military presence in Los Angeles. In Portland, events are scheduled at several locations, including Westmoreland Park and the downtown waterfront. Governor Tina Kotek criticized the Trump administration's actions, labeling them as a threat to local governance and safety. The protests come in response to Trump's controversial immigration policies, which have ignited protests in cities like San Francisco and New York.
More than 100 advocacy groups are partnering to organize the "No Kings" events, anticipating millions of participants. The demonstrations emphasize the local impact of federal policies on community safety and governance. Organizers aim to assert pro-democracy values amid escalating tensions nationwide.
