Demonstrations against rising authoritarianism and the policies of President Trump are planned for saturday, June 14, in major cities across the United States and Germany. The “No Kings Day of Defiance” movement, as it’s known in the U.S., has spurred at least two related protests in Germany.
In Berlin, protesters will gather at 2 p.m. in the Tiergarten, behind the U.S. Embassy, near the corner of Ebertstraße and Behrenstraße. Hamburg’s demonstration is scheduled for 3 p.m. outside the Körber Stiftung on Kehrwieder, with participants marching to the U.S. consulate.
Media reports indicate that over 1,800 rallies are expected across North America and europe as part of the “No Kings” action. The date coincides with Flag Day in the U.S. and President Trump’s 79th birthday, for which he has planned a large military parade in Washington, D.C.
The “No Kings” movement is a reaction to the Trump governance. Organizers accuse the administration of defying courts, deporting peopel, attacking civil rights, and cutting services. “In America,we don’t do kings,” the movement’s website states.
Relations between the U.S. and Germany have been strained under Trump’s leadership. Actions such as the planned closure of U.S. consulates in Düsseldorf, Leipzig, and Hamburg, accusations of censorship against Germany, and tariffs have contributed to the tension.
visitors to Berlin should anticipate crowds, as pro-Palestine and pro-Israel demonstrations are also scheduled on Strasse des 17. Juni.
What’s next
Organizers anticipate continued activism and demonstrations as long as they deem authoritarian tendencies are present in the U.S.government.
