Ayo Edebiri and Mark Ruffalo Attend ‘No Kings’ Anti-Trump Protests

Ayo Edebiri and Mark Ruffalo were among the many stars who took part in the “No Kings” protests against Donald Trump in cities across the US. These protests, which occurred in numerous locations such as New York and Los Angeles, coincided with Trump’s military parade for the US Army’s 250th Anniversary and the president’s 79th birthday. Millions of people showed up to voice their opposition to what organizers described as President Trump’s authoritarian agenda, including recent immigration raids that have impacted communities nationwide.

Edebiri, known for her role in “The Bear,” shared photos on her Instagram Stories of protest signs with messages of love and unity. Meanwhile, actor Mark Ruffalo, famous for his work in “Poor Things,” expressed his concerns about the state of democracy in the country. He highlighted the need for unity in the face of what he sees as a threat to American rights and the Constitution. Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel also joined the protests, sharing a photo of himself and his parents at a rally in Los Angeles, emphasizing the importance of standing up for fellow Americans.

Other notable figures, such as Kerry Washington, Natasha Rothwell, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, also participated in the protests, sharing their experiences and messages of support on social media. The “No Kings” demonstrations were marked by peaceful expressions of dissent, with participants calling for a defense of democracy and a rejection of authoritarian leadership.

The protests took place following a week where Trump deployed national guard and US marine troops in Los Angeles to suppress demonstrations against his deportation policies, signaling a show of military force not seen since the civil rights era. The widespread turnout and celebrity involvement in the “No Kings” protests underscored the deep concerns that many Americans have about the direction of the country under the Trump administration.
