Demonstrators march as they protest against President Donald Trump's use of federal law enforcement and National Guard troops in the city during a rally along the 14th street corridor in northwest Washington, Saturday, Aug. 30, 2025.

This Saturday, nine "No Kings" rallies are taking place across the Triangle to protest the policies of the Trump Administration.

It’s the second “No Kings” protest and third mass movement against the administration this year. It also comes as National Guard troops have been deployed in several cities across the U.S.

This time, the rally in Raleigh, organized by 50501 NC, will take place on Capitol Boulevard. Organizers told the News and Observer that downtown Raleigh is too small to hold the large number of attendees they are expecting.

Here's when and where those demonstrations are expected to take place on Oct. 18:

  • Hillsborough: Orange County Historical Courthouse, 11a.m. to 12 p.m.
  • Carrboro Town Commons, 3 to 4:30 p.m.
