NEW ROCHELLE, NY (October 18, 2025) — Organizers in New Rochelle held the city’s first No Kings protest rally Saturday morning at the corner of North Avenue and Huguenot Street, across from the main post office, from 9 to 10:15 a.m.
The event supported by the national No Kings organization and secured a city permit. More than 125 people signed up to attend.
“This is our FIRST New Rochelle NO KINGS event! Join us for a rally and then get on the train for NYC!” organizers said in an announcement. Paid parking was available in the nearby train station lot, one block away, with a limited supply of posters and yellow bandanas provided.
Participants planned to depart around 9:53 a.m. to catch the Metro-North New Haven Line train arriving at Grand Central Terminal at 10:39 a.m. The group aimed to board the third or fourth car, with stops including Mamaroneck at 9:56 a.m., Larchmont at 9:59 a.m., New Rochelle at 10:03 a.m. and Pelham at 10:07 a.m.
The local rally fed into the larger anchor event in New York City, set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. starting at Father Duffy Square at 47th Street and Broadway, followed by a march down Seventh Avenue to 14th Street. Registration was available online.
A meetup for Westchester participants was scheduled at 48th Street and Sixth Avenue at 11 a.m. for a group photo opportunity before joining the main march. Organizers advised using the MTA app for tickets and planning for crowded stations and limited restroom access at Grand Central.
The No Kings protests are part of a national day of action, with additional local events in the area. In Larchmont, a gathering was planned at 10 a.m. at the farmer’s market entrance on Chatsworth Avenue, with free parking at the train station lot behind the market. Registration was required.
Pelham’s event was set for 2 p.m., with organizers noting the location might change and urging signups. Mamaroneck scheduled a 4 p.m. protest at the Harbor Island entrance on Mamaroneck Avenue and Boston Post Road.
