No Kings anti-Trump movement holds over 3000 rallies across 50 states ahead of November 3 US midterm elections. What does it mean for Donald Trump, Republican party?

"No Kings" anti-Trump movement is organizing thousands of rallies Saturday to get voters fired up as Americans begin casting their ballots in the midterm elections. "No Kings" has more than 3,000 events planned across the United States for its fourth iteration since US President Donald Trump returned to office, this time with a special twist for the November 3 vote.

Dubbed "No Kings: Vote Early," the events on Saturday aim to get out the vote rather than protest the actions of Trump and his Republican administration.

"It's a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing our community together to make a plan to vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard," organizers said in a statement.


Saturday's itinerary varies widely depending on the location, from a music festival in Los Angeles and a march to the Supreme Court in Washington, to family-friendly workshops in Chicago and election observer training in Atlanta.

"No Kings: Early Vote will be thousands of joyful celebrations of our right to vote across the country," said Deirdre Schifeling, the chief political and advocacy officer of the American Civil Liberties Union, one of the partner organizations behind Saturday's events.

Earlier in March, demonstrators decrying US President Donald Trump's aggressive deportation efforts, war in Iran and other policies took to city streets across the country on Saturday in the third round of the "No Kings" rallies.

More than 3,200 events had been planned in ​all 50 states, after the two previous nationwide events attracted millions of participants.

Large rallies took place in New York, Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington, but two-thirds of No Kings events were happening outside major cities, ‌a nearly 40 per cent jump for smaller communities from the movement's first mobilization last June, organizers said.
