IRIE was proud to be part of the No Kings Protest, which took place on October 18, 2025, in major cities across the United States, including Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and our home base, San Francisco. Over 7 million people across the country participated, standing in unity to defend our constitutional rights against executive overreach, making the demonstration a peaceful, orderly experience for all. Some of the key locations where major rallies occurred included the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., Grant Park in Chicago, and Times Square in New York City.
“No Kings” is a 2025 pro-democracy movement and protest slogan in the U.S. that rejects authoritarianism and opposes alleged executive overreach by the Trump administration. It asserts that American power belongs to the people, not a monarch, aiming to protect the Constitution, democracy, and checks and balances.
No Kings is a foundation rooted in the principles upon which our nation was built. No thrones. No crowns. No kings
