DPI alum and photojournalist Danny Arensburg (Class of 2025) photographed the "No Kings" protest that took place in New York City on Saturday, June 14, 2025.

"Thousands of protesters took to the streets of midtown in the rain on Saturday afternoon for “No Kings Day,” a nationwide action meant to detract from Trump’s big, gaudy, tank-filled military parade in celebration of the Army’s 250th anniversary (which just so happens to coincide with Trump’s 79th birthday). Shoulder to shoulder, people marched down Fifth Avenue from Bryant Park clapping and even dancing despite being drenched in the day’s downpour.
“We’re trying to save democracy and freedom, to have a country left for my grandchildren and to be able to vote in November. We’re supposedly a free country, and I’d like it to remain that way. We are supposedly allowed to demonstrate. I’m really just hoping, not to go back the way we were. Things were not perfect then, but certainly to have the freedom to speak out if I wish to, and to have a legacy left for my grandchildren.” — Barbara O’Keefe, 77, retired
