Across the country, demonstrators expressed their anguish against President Donald Trump and his administration by taking part in the “No Kings” protests.

A “No Kings” event on Maui drew a crowd of demonstrators along Kaʻahumanu Avenue in Kahului, stretching from the Wākea Avenue intersection, past South Kāne Street on Saturday afternoon. The event was part of a nationwide “No Kings” protest organized by several grassroots groups to denounce President Donald Trump and to protect democracy.

( NewsNation) — The man who died after a “No Kings” protest in Salt Lake City, Utah, has been identified as a fashion designer and former contestant on “Project Runway,” according to reports.

While the protest is called “No Kings Day of Definance” across the country, ACLU Hawaiʻi and co-organizers said it is being called “No Dictator Day” in the islands due to the recognition of the Hawaiian Monarchy. The state saw a total of six protests — one on Oʻahu, one on Maui and four on the Big Isle.

Thousands were on hand outside the Hawaii State Capitol on June 14, 2025 for the "No Kings" protest. "It's spanning from all the way across different sections and intersections. It's way too crowded by the capitol area, so people are spreading as far out as they can go," stated Honolulu City Councilmember Radiant Cordero.

The former “Project Runway” contestant was killed in Utah by a stray bullet during the “No Kings” protest on Saturday.
