Nationwide 'No Kings' protests are drawing participation from anti-Israel activists associated with the global intifada movement, who are joining forces with labor unions, socialist groups, and other left-wing organizations. These groups are leveraging the protests to amplify their messages, including calls for Palestinian solidarity and opposition to the Trump administration, linking international causes to domestic issues like immigration and policing.
A Fox News Digital investigation highlights that the protest network is composed of hundreds of nonprofit organizations, labor unions, and political action committees, many of which are tax-exempt and receive funding from major Democratic donors. Critics allege that these groups are engaging in partisan political activity under the guise of charity, potentially violating tax and nonprofit laws.
Despite organizers' claims of nonpartisanship, the protests are closely tied to Democratic political infrastructure, with explicit anti-Trump messaging and coordinated efforts across cities. Lawmakers and officials have called for investigations into the funding and legality of these activities, as the protests continue to blend domestic and international activism under a unified banner.
