Protesters march down Laurel Street Oct. 18 in downtown Columbia on their way from the SC State House to the Governor’s Mansion.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to organizers of the No Kings rallies, some 7 million people turned out at large and small events across the country. Even with numbers still coming in, Oct. 18, 2025, marks one of the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in our history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were more than 2,700 protests across all 50 states. South Carolina did its part, with events from the Lowcountry to the Upstate. It was a joyful and peaceful day. The only arrest took place in Myrtle Beach, where a woman brandished a firearm to threaten the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Columbia turned out in a big way, gathering at the SC State House for a rally, followed by a march to the Governor’s Mansion. Congratulations to everyone who spent their Saturday defending democracy. You looked amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
