Organizers say they expect tens of thousands of people to turn out in Midtown and other locations across the city.

Protesters turned out at roughly 2,700 rallies around the country to celebrate free speech and protest many of the Trump administration's actions.

Protesters at Manhattan's "No Kings" rally explain their support for mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani as New York City prepares for the November election.

For the second time this year, members of the community lined City Park to voice their grievances as part of a national “No Kings” protest.

Organizers describe “No Kings” as a collective stand for democracy and accountability, not just a protest against one man. The movement gained traction after its first mass turnout in June drowned out Trump’s planned birthday parade in Washington, D.C. This weekend’s return doubles as a reminder that its organizers have no plans to fade quietly.

“No Kings” rallies unfolded across the United States on Saturday and reporters and photographers from the parent company of The Oregonian/OregonLive documented dozens of them, from Portland to Boston. The largest of Portland rallies gathered at Tom McCall Waterfront Park and drew 40,000 people, police said.

A crowd of 50, including some of the city's most prominent religious leaders held an interfaith vigil before joining a demonstration in Times Square.
