No Kings Demonstrations Planned Across Phoenix Area for October 17

The anti-Trump No Kings protests will return to the Phoenix area on October 17, with the main rally starting at Grant Park and marching to the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center. Satellite events are scheduled in several Valley communities and other Arizona cities, including a Bike Out the Vote ride in central Phoenix. Organizers are mobilizing amid low presidential approval, dissatisfaction over the Iran war and gas prices, and criticism of federal immigration enforcement ahead of the midterms.

The main Phoenix gathering is set for Grant Park at 701 S. 3rd Ave., with attendees marching to the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center and back. The listed window is 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., though earlier actions have run longer. Smaller events are planned in Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, North Phoenix, Surprise, Fountain Hills, Sun City, Tucson, Flagstaff, Sedona, Prescott, and Yuma. A central Phoenix "Bike Out the Vote" ride begins at 8:30 a.m. on West Osborn Road.

Organizers include local Indivisible chapters, Proyecto Progreso, Progress Arizona, the Rush-hour Resistance Rally, and the ACLU. They urge marchers to carry water, sunscreen, walking shoes, and shade, stay on public sidewalks, and bring completed ballots for drop-off at the tabulation center. The action comes as the president's approval sits at 35 percent, with discontent over the Iran war, fuel costs, and federal immigration enforcement ahead of the midterms.
