Fact check: Is there a list of cities that participated in no kings June 14, 2025 with the approximate number of participants for each city
Checked on June 15, 2025
1. Summary of the results
The "No Kings" protests on June 14, 2025, had a massive nationwide reach, though exact numbers vary by source:
- Between 1,500-2,000 cities participated across all 50 states and commonwealths [1] [2]
- Total participation is estimated at over five million people nationwide [2]
- Confirmed major cities include Philadelphia (≈100,000 participants), Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Newark, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Paul, and Tucson [3]
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
Several important contextual elements should be considered:
- The scale ranges from small towns with hundreds of participants to major metropolitan areas with tens of thousands [2]
- The protests were pre-planned and organized across these communities, suggesting significant coordination [4]
- While the protests occurred in "over 1,000 communities," some sources report higher numbers of up to 2,000 cities [4] [2]
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The question itself contains potential areas for misunderstanding:
- Variance in reporting: Different sources provide varying numbers of participating cities (1,000 to 2,000), suggesting possible differences in how participation is defined or counted [4] [2]
- Limited precise data: While Philadelphia's numbers are specifically reported, most cities' exact participant counts are not available in multiple sources, making it difficult to provide a comprehensive list [3]
- Pre-event vs. actual participation: Some sources discuss planned participation [4] while others report actual turnout [2], which could lead to discrepancies in reported numbers
