Trump's presidency facing challenges? Organizers of 'No Kings' protests plan another rally on THIS date
Another round of protests against Donald Trump and his administration have been planned across the United States on July 17 under the banner of Good Trouble Lives On . Organisers of the 'No Kings' Protest say they plan to continue another round of demonstrations next month. Multiple reports suggest the protests will be held on the fifth anniversary of the death of Rep. John Lewis, who was the last surviving member of the Big Six, which helped organize the 1963 March on Washington. On June 14, protests against President Trump took place in towns and cities across the US in a coordinated event titled "No Kings" which coincided with rare military parade hosted by Trump in Washington DC. The protests took place in hundreds of U.S. cities, with large-scale gatherings reported in major hubs such as Philadelphia; Los Angeles; Austin, Texas; Portland, Oregon; and New York. According to analysis by pollster G. Elliott Morris, they were attended by an estimated 4 to 6 million people.

These aren't isolated incidents; they're part of a broader effort to delegitimize democratic norms." The protests have three main goals, according to its downloadable "Host Toolkit" for organisers. These are demanding an end to "the extreme crackdown on civil rights by the Trump administration," "the attacks on Black and brown Americans, immigrants, trans people, and other communities," and "the slashing of programs that working people rely on, including Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security," reports NewsWeek.

'No Kings' organizers set next protest date. White House called June 14 'utter failure'
A coalition of organizations behind the nationwide "No Kings" protests announced another day of action under the name "Good Trouble Lives On." In a June 16 call, organizers debriefed on the events of June 14, where the American Civil Liberties Union says more than 5 million people turned out across about 2,100 communities in the U.S. The protests fell on Trump's 79th birthday and coincided with the Army's 250th anniversary parade in Washington. D.C. " 'Where do we go from here' is a famous line from a Dr. King speech," Barbara Arnwine with Transformative Justice Coalition said on the call. "And where we go from here is July the 17th... We're going to make good trouble because good trouble lives on and we will not stop until we win: no kings, no tyrants, no despots." "Good trouble" is a term coined by the late Congressman John Lewis, and July 17 will mark five years since his death, the movement's website states. A map of events shows there are more than 60 demonstrations planned for that day as of June 17. "Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of action to respond to the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration," the website states. "Together, we'll remind them that in America, the power lies with the people." Are people protesting more than usual? 'Jaw-dropping' number planned on Trump's birthday Trump did not post about the protests on his social media site Truth Social. But the White House did weigh in on the protests in a statement on X. "The so-called No Kings protests have been a complete and utter failure with minuscule attendance. It is sad Democrats and liberals would rather support criminals and illegals instead of celebrating the 250th anniversary of our great U.S. Army and Flag Day," communications director Steven Cheung wrote. "But many more Americans are commemorating our brave military men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice and who those continue to serve our country." The American Civil Liberties Union, one of the co-organizers of the protests, estimated that more than 5 million people participated in about 2,100 demonstrations across the U.S. '(Saturday's) protests are a resounding message that people across the nation will not be intimidated by President Trump's fear tactics. Americans are brave, democracy loving people and will not sit idly by as the Trump administration feeds our Constitution into the shredder — nor will the ACLU,' ACLU chief political and advocacy officer Deirdre Schifeling said in a press release on June 14. Ezra Levin, co-founder of one of the organizing groups, Indivisible, called it one of the largest protests in American history. "Blue states, red states, purple states, city centers, suburbs, rural have friends everywhere," he said on the June 16 call. USA TODAY reached out to organizers for this story.

No Kings protest organizers announce July 17 as next demonstration
Organizers of last weekend's "No Kings" protests are celebrating the event as the one of the largest mass demonstrations in U.S. history, and already have another rally on the books. Why it matters: Building off the success of Saturday's rallies, Transformative Justice Coalition announced Monday the next protests are planned for July 17 in honor of Civil Rights activist and lawmaker John Lewis who died on that date in 2020. The June 14 protests were scheduled to counter President Trump's military parade in Washington, D.C., as a public rebuke to what organizers say is Trump's authoritarian policies. By the numbers: More than 2,100 No Kings events took place across 20 countries on Saturday, according to Ezra Levin from Indivisible. Levin added that about 5 million people participated across the globe. What they're saying: " We're going to center three things," Transformative Justice Coalition's Barbara Arnwine said about the upcoming July 17 protests. "We're going to center racial justice, because this country will never be right until it's racially just ... we're going to center voting rights for all, because voter suppression has no, no right to be in this country. We're going to talk about our continued and united fight for a just, inclusive and strong democracy that is our goal, that is our obligation in these times." Zoom out: While Saturday's protests were largely peaceful, they were not completely without incident. 39-year-old Arthur Folasa Ah Loo died after being shot at Salt Lake City's No Kings protest. The host of Monday's call, Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson, shared a GoFundMe link to support Folasa Ah Loo's family. State of play: Indivisible Twin Cities co-leaders Lisa Erbes and Rebecca Larson spoke about waking up Saturday to the news that Minnesota state House Democratic Leader Melissa Hortman and her husband had been killed, and State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife had been shot. Erbes said after speaking with local law enforcement they decided to move forward with the rally. "We realized very quickly that we had to honor Melissa and her husband," Erbes said through tears. "We also didn't want to give the murderer what he wanted, and that was to upset these events all over the country, and that if we canceled, we were we were giving in to him."
