No Kings Mass Protest: St. Louis March for Democracy – June 14, 2025

No Kings Mass Protest: St. Louis March for Democracy – June 14, 2025

NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.

🚨On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.🚨

Join 50501 and Show Me Action for a NO KINGS MASS PROTEST and MARCH for DEMOCRACY on June 14 from 2 PM to 5 PM. We will rally at Kiener Plaza in Downtown St. Louis.

Schedule: – 2 PM: Rally featuring speakers

3 PM: March (Time subject to change) After the march, come back to Kiener Plaza for music and festivities.

Donald Trump thinks his rule is absolute, but in America, we don’t do “kings.” Since the inauguration, the Trump administration and its enablers have operated as though they have a mandate—but they don’t, and never did. They are going to extremes to empower Trump and enrich themselves, while cutting jobs and services for the rest of us. Now, they’re turning Flag Day into a celebration of Trump.

We’re standing together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption. On June 14, we gather to remind Trump and his enablers: America has No King!

Join millions nationwide on June 14 to march against authoritarian politics and billionaire takeover. Be part of a national moment that changes the conversation—and turns the tide.

Register to receive details and updates in the days leading up to the event.

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

The near total privatization of New Orleans public schools had devastating consequences for communities, teaching staff, and students. Charter schools are linked to right-wing forces that seem unconcerned with effects of school closings. They are part of a greater scheme to privatize Medicare, the postal service, and parks and forests and affect other benefits that all should enjoy.
Charter schools can undermine public school financing via “sweeps” contracts and excessive lease agreements. It is possible to improve working conditions at charter schools through organizing, negotiating, and striking when necessary. The webinar will explore tactics and strategy for resisting school closures.
