While the ACLU of Montana has clarified that it is not organizing these events, the organization has publicly voiced support for the demonstrations and encouraged citizen participation.

Let's break this down—including what Montanans can expect from the demonstrations across the state.

What Is “No Kings”?

“No Kings” is a decentralized, grassroots protest movement organized nationally in response to perceived threats against civil liberties.

The movement cites government overreach, political retaliation, and erosion of constitutional checks and balances as its core concerns.

Organizers across the country are calling for public mobilization to uphold First Amendment protections and demand that no president—regardless of party—be placed above the law.

More than 1,400 protests are expected to take place nationwide, including several across Montana.

Locations & Times in Montana

While large gatherings are confirmed in cities such as Helena, Missoula, and Billings, here’s what’s currently known (or expected) for Butte and Bozeman:

Butte:

• Location: Butte Courthouse Lawn, 155 W Granite St

• Time: 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

• Expected Attendance: Approximately 100–200 based on early RSVPs through social media.

• Traffic Impact: No official road closures have been announced, but attendees may spill into the street near Granite and Montana Streets. Expect minor traffic delays and avoid parking near the courthouse around rally time (speculative based on past demonstrations of similar size).

Bozeman:

• Location: Bogert Park, 200 S Church Ave

• Time: 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.

• Expected Attendance: 200+; local organizers are promoting the event heavily on Facebook and community boards.

• Traffic Impact: Since Bogert Park is adjacent to residential neighborhoods and downtown Bozeman, parking may be limited. Church Ave and surrounding streets may see congestion but no planned road closures have been announced.

What Protesters and Non-Participants Should Know

For Attendees:

• Organizers are urging participants to remain peaceful and respectful.

• Signs, flags, and banners are encouraged; some events may include guest speakers or musical performances.

• Bring water, sunscreen, and wear comfortable shoes.

• Law enforcement presence is expected to be minimal but present for safety and crowd control.

For Residents and Commuters:

• If you live or work near downtown Butte or Bozeman, consider adjusting your travel plans to avoid protest times.

• Businesses in the area will remain open unless otherwise posted, though foot traffic may increase.

Broader Context

The protests coincide with a national surge in public mobilization as the country nears the 2026 election cycle.

Organizers maintain that their cause transcends party lines, focusing instead on the foundational principles of American democracy.

Their message: “The government must serve the people, not the president.”

Though the protests are a response to specific grievances with President Trump’s actions since returning to office, organizers emphasize that the right to dissent is a nonpartisan issue—one they argue should be protected no matter who is in power.

Final Thoughts

Whether you plan to join the demonstrations, observe from afar, or steer clear of the commotion entirely, Montanans can expect a significant day of civic engagement tomorrow.

The tone is expected to be serious but peaceful, and all eyes will be on how communities across the state—and the country—show up for the cause of democratic accountability.
