More than 7 million people turned out for the No Kings protests in about 2,700 cities and towns in all 50 U.S. states on October 18, 2025. These numbers are based on reports from the organizers and media across the country.

The main sponsors included the liberal group Indivisible, the American Civil Liberties Union, and hundreds of other national and local organizations.

Some of the largest actions took place in Chicago (250,000), Washington, D.C. (200,000), New York City (where estimates ranged between 100,000 and more than 300,000), and Boston (125,000). Thousands marched in many cities in the South, including Dallas and Houston, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; Birmingham, Alabama; and Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina.

      If they start dispelling and traction dies down. June had 5 million, October had 7 million. If there’s a third one in say February 2026 and it doesn’t have a turnout of say, 9 million or more, AND you actually went to said event (or physically could not go), you have my literal permission to be a Debby Downer, or a Negative Nancy, your choice.
