Birmingham, Alabama: Nationwide ‘No Kings’ Protests Scheduled in Opposition to Trump’s Military Parade
At least 13 cities across Alabama plan to host “No Kings” protests on June 14, 2025, as part of a nationwide effort opposing President Donald Trump’s military parade and his administration’s approach to governance. Cities participating in this movement include Birmingham, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, Auburn, Mobile, Huntsville, Scottsboro, Guntersville, Fort Payne, Jacksonville, Dothan, Selma, and Dadeville.
The protests are being organized by Indivisible Alabama in conjunction with the Alabama 50501 Movement, both of which advocate for democracy and civil liberties. The demonstrations are intended to critique Trump’s perceived authoritarian actions and are expected to attract large crowds, particularly in light of increased scrutiny around recent immigration enforcement policies.
Details of the Protests
The demonstration in Montgomery will occur from 10 a.m. to noon on the lawn of the Alabama Archives and History Museum. This event will coincide with another gathering at the Rosa Parks Museum, creating a significant focal point for attendees. In Birmingham, the protest is scheduled for 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and will include a march against authoritarianism, aligning with the local Central Alabama Pride event.
Organizers have emphasized that the protests will be family-friendly and aim to maintain a peaceful atmosphere throughout the events. Protests are prepped to respond to any potential violence, ensuring the events remain nonviolent. Law enforcement agencies are closely monitoring the activities to guarantee safety for all participants, and police departments, such as Birmingham’s, have indicated they will have plans and resources ready in case of escalating situations.
Concerns Over Authoritarianism
Linda Fisher, president of Indivisible Alabama, has raised concerns regarding the actions of the Trump administration, indicating that many recent developments seem to undermine American values. The No Kings protests are framed as a direct challenge to Trump’s governance style, particularly as they coincide with his birthday and Flag Day. Organizers are encouraging attendees to conduct themselves with empathy, professionalism, and calmness during the demonstrations.
Context and Background
The national No Kings movement highlights widespread opposition to Trump’s policies that negatively impact marginalized communities, such as strict immigration guidelines and attacks on LGBTQ+ rights. These protests follow a series of large gatherings against Trump’s administration, signaling a growing resistance among various groups advocating for civil rights and democratic values.
As the date approaches, communities across Alabama are preparing for these demonstrations, which are anticipated to strengthen the collective voice against what many perceive as overreaching governmental authority under President Trump. The significance of these protests not only lies in their immediate implications but also in their representation of a broader movement toward the restoration of democratic principles in governance.
