What to know about ‘Free America’ anti-Trump protests planned for July Fourth

Published July 2, 2025 12:45pm ET



Three weeks after the “No Kings” nationwide protests on June 14, the Women’s March is organizing protests on the Fourth of July to reject President Donald Trump and his policies and “free America from the grip of hate and the politics of fear.”

“Independence Day is about the fight for freedom,” the group said on its website. “America is in crisis. Real democracy feels out of reach. Freedom is in trouble. … This July 4th weekend, while the U.S. marks Independence Day, we’ll gather across the country — on porches, in town squares, backyards, and streets — to stand for real freedom and build a vision of a Free America brick by brick.”
