Notable figures such as Mark Ruffalo, Jimmy Kimmel, and Susan Sarandon joined the “No Kings” demonstrations that happened on June 14, 2025. This event took place simultaneously with the grand military parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.

During an interview on MSNBC, Ruffalo shared his thoughts on why he participates in protests. He stated that America’s democracy is under threat, with a president acting like a king and dictator. He added that there’s not enough opposition power to prevent the daily infringements on our rights and the Constitution, such as executive orders, disregard for court orders, and the kidnapping of immigrants, including those who are legally in the country, with their children being separated from them.

Ruffalo went on, “We’re appalled and we’re terrified, and we understand that the best way to tackle this issue now is for everyone to unite.

In simpler terms, Jimmy Kimmel journeyed to South Bay, which is located in Los Angeles, to join in the demonstrations. On Instagram, he published a message of thanks to his fellow citizens for standing up for their friends and neighbors, a sentiment that also resonates with him and his parents.

Besides Mark Ruffalo and Jimmy Kimmel, numerous other celebrities voiced their participation in protests through online posts. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, known for her role on Veep, uploaded a picture on Instagram of herself with a sign that read “The only monarch I like is a butterfly.” Her caption was “#Nokings USUSUS,” indicating her support for the cause without explicitly mentioning it.

In her own words, Marisa Tomei posted a message following the “No Kings” rally, thanking everyone who participated in the demonstrations.
