A reported crowd of 60,000 marched in two “No Kings” protest events in downtown San Diego on June 14, 2025. The marches were part of a national anti-Trump Administration protest that includes nearly a dozen marches in San Diego County and more than 2,100 nationwide.
With hundreds of events still underway on Saturday, No Kings actions had already drawn more than 5 million participants — nearly 2 million more than similar “Hands Off” protests on April 5, according to organizers.
One of the two San Diego marches began at the Civic Center Plaza and proceeded to Waterfront Park. A larger group began a march in Waterfront Park and circled in a 1.25-mile oval that returned back to the park. Read more here about the organization and coordination of San Diego’s downtown protests.
