Dubuque, Iowa, will host the nationwide “No Kings” event on Saturday, June 14, 2025. This day of action aims to protest against authoritarianism and promote democratic values. This gathering is part of a broader movement across Iowa and the country, addressing concerns about centralized authority, infringements on free speech, political arrests, and disregard for the judicial system.
The event in Dubuque will take place at Washington Park from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., organized by local activists. Attendees can expect speeches from community leaders, live music, and chances to engage with various local advocacy organizations. The organizers stress the importance of nonviolent participation, in line with the “No Kings” commitment to solidarity and opposition against authoritarian measures.
Meanwhile, cities across Iowa—including Iowa City, Des Moines, and Council Bluffs—are coordinating similar demonstrations. A notable assembly is set for Iowa City at 21 N Clinton St. These events aim to mobilize citizens against corruption while fostering democratic ideals. For further details, please visit nokings.org.
