Good evening. I'm Ali Rogan. John Yang is away. Millions turned out across the country today

for a coordinated day of protest against President Donald Trump and his administration's policies.

Organizers expected more than 2,600 No King's rallies in big cities and small towns across all 50

states and some European capitals, including

Paris, London, Madrid, and Berlin.

A similar event in June brought out more than 5 million demonstrators across the country,

but this time organizers said the mobilization was even bigger.

Today's protests spanned the nation and other parts of the globe.

Massive crowds turned out in major cities, including New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, and Chicago.

Demonstrators also gathered in tiny towns like this one in rural Virginia and across the country.

They all shared a singular message.

Simple words, no kings.

We want to show our support for democracy and for fighting what is right.

Protesters named immigration raids and President Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard to certain cities among the reasons they came out.

He should not be able to conduct these overreaches of his power, invading cities.

As an immigrant here in Germany, it's really important to me that America was founded on immigrants, by immigrants, and the fact that they are trying to shut that out and rewrite history is a really big deal.

President Trump's allies criticized the rallies as gatherings of extremists. On Friday, House Speaker Mike Johnson said they showed how fringe the political left had become.

If you think about what's going to happen here tomorrow, you're going to bring together the Marxists, the Socialists, the Antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far-left Democrat Party.

That is the modern Democratic Party. That's where they've gone.

But on streets across America, the crowds were energized.

What organizers said was a large-scale exercise in peaceful protest.

For more now on those protests, we turn to Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen,
