Jimmy Kimmel, Kerry Washington and More Join ‘No Kings’ Protests
Hollywood celebrities have joined the fight against the Trump administration, participating in the “No Kings” protests that took place across America on Saturday. The protests aimed to push back against Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation raids and coincided with the president’s controversial military parade in Washington, which was meant to celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary and also fell on Trump’s birthday.
Among the thousands of U.S. citizens who took part in the protests, industry leaders also made their voices heard. Jimmy Kimmel attended the “No Kings” rally in the South Bay of Los Angeles and shared a photo on Instagram, expressing his gratitude for the peaceful turnout and emphasizing the importance of standing up for friends and neighbors.
Actress Kerry Washington also showed her support for the movement on Instagram, posting pictures of herself with fellow protesters and using the hashtag #NoKings to highlight the fight for democracy. Meanwhile, eight-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close joined the protests in Bozeman, Mont., sharing her thoughts in a heartfelt Instagram video where she condemned violence and called for unity in defending democracy.
Other celebrities, such as Natasha Rothwell, Ayo Edebiri, and Mary Elizabeth Ellis, also participated in the protests and shared their experiences on social media. Their actions reflect a growing trend of Hollywood stars using their platform to advocate for social and political change.
The involvement of Hollywood in the “No Kings” protests underscores the importance of civic engagement and the power of collective action in shaping a better future for all. As celebrities continue to lend their voices to important causes, their influence can help inspire others to take a stand and make a difference in their communities.
