Fox News Digital spoke to over half a dozen people at the New York City "No Kings" rally and asked them what motivated them to show up at the Times Square rally.

Organizers describe “No Kings” as a collective stand for democracy and accountability, not just a protest against one man. The movement gained traction after its first mass turnout in June drowned out Trump’s planned birthday parade in Washington, D.C. This weekend’s return doubles as a reminder that its organizers have no plans to fade quietly.

Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets from Times Square to the National Mall on Saturday, waving flags and holding signs calling for accountability and democracy during nationwide “No Kings Day" protests.

A new round of "No Kings" demonstrations took place in cities across the country, including Washington, D.C., New York and Chicago on Oct. 18.
