On October 17, 2026, over 3,000 protests were organized by the “No Kings” movement across the United States to protest against Donald Trump, reports RFI. These actions take place in a major electoral context, just weeks before the midterm elections where control of Congress is at stake.
The organizers of “No Kings” aimed to use these protests to encourage voters to go to the polls. The goal is to mobilize public opinion against Donald Trump’s influence in American politics.
In the city of Johns Creek, located in the Atlanta suburbs, protesters particularly emphasized the importance of these elections, viewing the vote as a priority for the country’s political future.
