Collin County Democratic Party joins national NO KINGS protest on Saturday, June 14
Peaceful, patriotic demonstration to uphold democracy, rain or shine
COLLIN COUNTY (June 12, 2025) On Saturday, June 14, members of the Collin County Democratic Party, alongside local activists, will join the nationwide NO KINGS day of action to protest Donald Trump and his escalating authoritarian agenda. The event will take place rain or shine, standing firm against attempts to intimidate peaceful dissent, including the reckless deployment of National Guard and Texas Guard troops to suppress free speech.
While simultaneous protests will be occurring throughout the local area, major emphasis will be placed in McKinney, the county seat. Protesters will gather at the northwest intersection of SH 380 and US 75, specifically 2025 N. Central Expy., from 10 a.m. to noon.
Appropriately, the NO KINGS day of protests coincides with Flag Day, set aside to honor the outward symbol of democracy, freedom, patriotism, and independence upon which this country was founded.
“In America, we don’t bow to would-be kings,” said Jeremy Sutka, Chair of the Collin County Democratic Party. “Trump and his allies have cracked down on free speech, detained critics, threatened to deport citizens, and defied the courts, all while serving their billionaire backers. But here in Texas, we know our history: Our founding fathers stood against tyranny, and so will we. This protest is nonviolent, patriotic, and unshakable, no matter how hard Trump and Greg Abbott try to silence us.”
The NO KINGS movement is a mass mobilization against Trump’s corruption and attacks on democracy. Participants will gather not to feed his ego, but to build a movement that leaves no doubt that authoritarianism will never be accepted nor tolerated.
