From Silver Spring and Bethesda and Gaithersburg in Maryland, to Fairfax and Falls Church and Arlington in Virginia, people throughout the region came out for “ No Kings Day of Defiiance ” protests. (There was not a “No Kings” protest in DC itself, but there was a march from Logan Circle to the White House organized by Refuse Fascism .)

About 750 people turned out, on June 14, 2025, for a "No Kings Day of Action" rally at the West Virginia Capitol in Charleston. The rally was in opposition to the policies of President Donald Trump on the same day that Trump held a military parade in Washington D.

On Saturday, cities across the country — including several in Hampton Roads — held "No Kings Day" demonstrations.

Tight security ensured a family-oriented atmosphere at the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary parade despite liberal opposition and protests nearby.

United West Virginia organized the assembly and chose the name “No Kings” after Trump posted a picture portraying himself as one. He also organized a $45 million dollar military parade to honor the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.

Governor Glenn Youngkin has a message for anyone who plans to take part in protests over federal immigration enforcement and/or President Donald Trump, "if you violate the law, you will be arrested."

Demonstrators lined both sides of Virginia Beach Boulevard near the intersection with Independence at 2 p.m. Saturday. They chanted "No Kings" as drivers passing through Town Center blared their car horns in agreement.
