When the military-industrial complex throws a party, activists are ready to crash it. On Saturday, June 14, 2025, a massive nationwide protest movement called “No Kings” is set to take over cities across America, including a whopping 80 locations in the Bay Area.

The Birthday Party Nobody Asked For

President Donald Trump’s second administration is planning a lavish $100 million military parade to celebrate both his birthday and the Army’s 250th anniversary. But a coalition of 190 organizations isn’t here for the pageantry - they’re here to make some noise.

Grassroots Rebellion Takes the Streets

From Vacaville to Santa Cruz, protesters are mobilizing to send a clear message: taxpayer money shouldn’t fund presidential ego trips. With estimated nationwide demonstrations topping 1,800, this isn’t just a protest - it’s a movement.

Power to the People

Organizers are crystal clear about their mission: while millions struggle with basic needs like Social Security, SNAP, and public school funding, Trump’s throwing himself a birthday bash that could fund critical social services. The “No Kings” movement isn’t just protesting - they’re demanding accountability and challenging the very notion of presidential excess.
