Govs in Virginia , Texas , Nebraska and Missouri are mobilizing National Guard troops to help police manage demonstrations.

Governors and city officials vow to protect the right to protest and to show no tolerance for violence.

The “No Kings” theme was orchestrated by the 50501 Movement , to support democracy and against the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration.

The group says a core principle behind all “No Kings” events is a commitment to nonviolent action, and participants are expected to seek to de-escalate any confrontation. No weapons of any kind should be taken to “No Kings” events, according to the website. The No Kings Day of Defiance is expected to be the largest single-day mobilization since Trump returned to office, organizers said. Organizers said they are preparing for millions of people to take to the streets across all 50 states and commonwealths..
