On October 18, according to organizers, nearly 7 million people turned out for more than 2,700 No Kings II demonstrations across the nation, with at least one in every state.

In the following graph, we compare event organizer estimates of participants for the No Kings I rallies held in Oregon’s coastal communities on June 14, 2025 to the estimated number of participants in the No Kings II rallies held on October 18.

As represented in the graph below, there was a total of 7,760 participants in twelve Oregon communities for No Kings I rallies on June 14, 2025. On October 18, 2025, there were 12,250 participants for No Kings II rallies, a 57 percent increase.
