June 14th: Prague Joins Global "No Kings" Day in Defiance of Authoritarianism

Prague Morning

This Saturday, June 14, a public rally will take place on náměstí Jana Palacha at 2 pm as part of “No Kings” Day, a global day of action drawing attention to concerns about growing authoritarianism.

The event in Prague is being organized by Democrats Abroad Czech Republic together with the English-speaking Unitarian Church of Prague, and is part of a wider international movement happening in dozens of cities around the world.

The timing of the protests coincides with a large military parade in Washington, D.C., estimated to cost between $25 to $45 million, which critics have described as a show of power rather than a celebration of national values.

In response, demonstrations are being held in cities from Malmo to Mexico City, aiming to spotlight the importance of civil rights, democratic norms, and collective action.

In Prague, attendees can expect short speeches, public readings, and space for people to bring their own posters or messages. Organizers say the gathering is open to anyone who supports democracy and civil liberties, not just American citizens.

“We’re seeing more people speak out against rising authoritarianism,” said Martha McDevitt-Pugh, chair of Democrats Abroad International. “These global events are about standing together and showing solidarity with those resisting fear-based politics back home.”

The Prague event aims to bring together both American expatriates and local residents who want to express their support for democratic principles in a peaceful, community-oriented setting.
