‘No Kings’ Protests Planned This Weekend In Fairfax: What To Know

A second series of “No Kings” protests against the Trump administration will take place around the country on Saturday, with several demonstrations scheduled in the Fairfax area:

• Woodleigh Senior Living Center: The Woodleigh Chase Democrats are hosting a "No Kings" rally from 2 to 3 p.m. on Saturday across the street from Fairfax Memorial Park near the Kings Park DMV at 9855 Braddock Road. U.S. Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-11tth) is expected to be there.
• Kamp Washington: Activist group No Kings Fairfax (Kamp Washington) will be hosting a No Kings 2: National Day of Defiance protest from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday at the intersection of Main Street/Route 29 and Fairfax Boulevard/Route 50 in Fairfax.
• Fair Lakes: No Kings Fairfax (Fair Lakes) will be hosting a demonstration from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 18, at the intersection of Fair Lakes Parkway and Fair Lakes Circle.

No Kings is a coalition of numerous progressive and pro-democracy organizations led and coordinated by the national organizing group Indivisible.

In the first No Kings protests in June, millions of people peacefully demonstrated against what they say are authoritarian policies of President Donald Trump. The protests were held on the same day as the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade on Trump’s 79th birthday.

At least 2,000 protests will be held Saturday in every state in the country, with demonstrations planned in most major U.S. cities, as well as in Canada and Mexico. Protests are designed to be a peaceful day of action, according to the No Kings website.

A large gathering planned on the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol drew the ire of House Speaker Mike Johnson, who told Fox News Friday that although he is “a very patient guy,” he has “had it with these people.”

He called the Saturday protest a “Hate America rally” staged by “all the pro-Hamas wing and the antifa people.”

“They’re all coming out,” Johnson said.
