What To Expect At A "No Kings" Rally

Rallies are planned for Elmira and Corning.

The “No Kings” protests are part of a coordinated national series of rallies on October 18, 2025 opposing what organizers call authoritarian trends in the Trump administration.

• The movement builds on earlier “No Kings” actions (such as June 14, 2025) where thousands participated in many locations.

• Organizers emphasize peaceful protest, de-escalation training, and protecting speech rights, while rejecting violence.

• The name “No Kings” is symbolic: the idea is that in the U.S. the people, not a single ruler, should hold power.

  
  

So, when attending, the goals are typically: making your voice heard, showing solidarity, supporting democracy, and pushing back against perceived overreach — all done nonviolently and responsibly.
