The weekly protest at Culver City Hall exploded with participants on Oct. 18, 2025. The national call to speak out for “No Kings” drew an estimated 12,00o to the site, with signs, flags, and t-shirts all protesting the Republican administration in Washington.
The national organizations that sponsored the action estimate that 8.2 million people joined in protests at more than 2500 sites across the country.
Far more crowded than the previous “No Kings” action in Culver City in June of this year, this time the protestors spread all the way around ‘Washington Island’ – the triangle of shops situated between Culver Boulevard, Washington Boulevard and Duquesne Avenue in downtown Culver City, filling the street and packing the sidewalks.
People waved signs and chanted slogans from almost 10:30 am to past 12:30 pm, the official ‘end’ of the action. Traffic was diverted at Culver Boulvard to Duquesne to prevent cars and buses from driving through the protest.
The Culver City protest has become a magnet for people from all over west Los Angeles County, and many protestors continued on to other activities later in the day in downtown Los Angeles, and nearby locations in Westchester and El Segundo.
