A powerful movement is unfolding across the nation, with renowned figures like Spike Lee, Mark Ruffalo, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ben Stiller leading the charge. These celebrities are not just observers; they are actively participating in the "No Kings" protests, a peaceful yet impactful demonstration against the policies of President Donald Trump.
The protests, which took place on Saturday, October 18, 2025, were a sight to behold. Major cities such as Los Angeles and New York City witnessed a surge of passionate individuals, all united under the banner of democracy. This wasn't the first time Hollywood showed its support; the last "No Kings" protest occurred on June 14, just before a military parade celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th Anniversary in Washington.
Spike Lee, a vocal advocate for change, took to Instagram to inspire his followers. He shared a powerful image of a protester in New York City, urging everyone to "get up, stand up" and be a part of this historic movement. Jamie Lee Curtis, ever the artist, posted a series of photos on Instagram, capturing the essence of the protests with her caption, "SIGNS 'O THE TIMES! Democracy in ACTION!"
Ben Stiller, known for his witty humor, re-shared a photo of a participant holding a unique sign: "No King except for Jalen Brunson." This lighthearted moment amidst the serious cause adds a touch of humor to the movement.
But here's where it gets controversial: Mark Ruffalo, an outspoken activist, took to Instagram before the protests to show his unwavering support. In his post, he emphasized the power of the people and the importance of exercising our First Amendment rights. He wrote, "WE the People – WE have the power and together WE will win!"
And this is the part most people miss: the impact of these protests goes beyond the streets. It's about raising awareness, inspiring action, and reminding everyone of their constitutional rights.
