Key Points
The second “No Kings” rally of 2025 will be held on Saturday, Oct. 18, in Cora Roberson Park in Gainesville to protest President Donald Trump.
The event will take place from 10 a.m. to noon at 600 SW 6th St.
Speakers and bands will be on hand as protesters gather in opposition to Trump and his actions since taking office in January. The event organizers claim that Trump has used Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to “terrorize families,” sent the military to American cities claiming “non-existent emergencies,” allegedly prosecuting his political enemies and threatening to withhold back pay from federal workers.
Dozens of tables will be available where people can get involved and learn about specific issues and there will be a place to give and receive mutual aid to clothe local children. People are encouraged to bring new socks, shoes, underwear, jackets and feminine hygiene products for kids and teens and to take what they need for needy kids in their lives. The remaining contributions will go to clothing closets and local schools.
North Central Florida Indivisible is hosting this event, with co-hosts Gainesville Women for Democracy, Badass Feminists, Democratic Women’s Club of Alachua County, Alachua County Labor Coalition, and many others.
The first “No Kings” event was held on June 14. Gainesville residents held a similar, smaller rally in February at the corner of Main Street and University Avenue. A “Tesla Takedown” rally followed in March, along with others in April and May, including the “International Workers’ Day” rally. In July, a group gathered on West Newberry Road in front of Oaks Mall.
Organizers are asking that people attending adhere to a nonviolent protest and community safety.

Pretty sad that we are shunted off into the bushes for another, what should prove to be, larger rally and protest. None the less, please show up to support your rights, our country, and Democracy~!~
The Gainesville rally is just one of an estimated 2,500 concurrent events on that day, in all 50 states, our possessions, and even in Europe. And yet, the supporters of one DJT and his minions are trying to minimize, even demonize the event. Sad that they can’t and won’t see that what’s being done to the country is so evil.
If the previous admin didn’t allow 11 million illegals in the country and provide them free housing, healthcare, drivers license, CDLs, and house loans, we wouldn’t have this issue.
…Donald Trump is PRESIDENT… elected by the VAST majority of Americans…any questions???
look up the meaning of “vast.” or not, if you believe that 98% are supportive.
He campaigned for 4 Yeats and got 36.4% of the vote. Harris campaigned only 4 months and got 36%. Trump didn’t win by much at all…and there were many anomalies in voting as well. There were a number of counties where people voted for Harris yet their vote wasn’t counted.
He was not elected by the vast majority. Still, sadly, he barely managed to tweak in
Kings don’t allow “No Kings” protests. America stands with deporting illegals. Cope harder, losers. Another rally full of old people who are brainwashed by NPR or paid actors.
