Thousands of Orlandoans joined the third 'No Kings' rally in the city this Saturday, protesting what organizers call 'abuses of power' by the Trump administration. The demonstrations, part of a nationwide series of over 3,100 protests across all 50 states, denounced the president's efforts to instill fear in immigrant families, roll back reproductive autonomy, undermine LGBTQ+ rights, and attack Venezuela and Iran.

Why it matters

The 'No Kings' rallies reflect growing grassroots opposition to the Trump administration's policies, with demonstrators in Republican-controlled states and rural areas joining the movement. The Orlando protests have drawn hundreds of attendees from diverse backgrounds, highlighting the broad coalition opposed to the president's agenda.

The details

Protesters gathered at Orlando City Hall, wielding handmade signs criticizing the Trump administration on a range of issues. The last two 'No Kings' rallies in the city drew hundreds, and organizers say this weekend's demonstration saw even larger crowds.
