Organizers across the country named the mobilization “No Kings.” The rallies were organized in opposition to a military parade in Washington, D.C. on the president’s 79th birthday Saturday. The parade is happening on Flag Day, which also marks the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary this year.

The organizers of this weekend's upcoming "No Kings" protests have issued a video reminding people about the event. The video, released on the No Kings website, reminds those planning to attend of details and calls on people to join the protests.

Opponents of President Donald Trump's administration on Saturday rallied in nearly 2,000 locations across the country, with thousands demonstrating in Northern California.

Protesters across the country took to the streets for ‘No Kings’ demonstrations against President Trump. ICE raided a swap meet in Santa Fe Springs and police fired tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd in downtown L.

Around 2,000 protests and rallies were planned nationwide, with thousands of people also attending staged “No Kings” events in Manitowoc, Sheboygan and Green Bay. Rallies were canceled in Minnesota out of caution following shootings targeting local lawmakers.

While President Donald Trump attended a military parade he ordered on his birthday to recognize the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C., thousands of people in the Kansas City metro area flexed their First Amendment right Saturday to voice their opposition to polices of the Trump administration during the “No Kings” national day of defiance.

Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey said that he too was “deeply concerned about President Trump’s decision to hold a military parade," but added that while “many in our city feel passionate about the issues facing our country

“No Kings Day is about justice, dignity and humanity,” said Joanna Keese, chair of the Ector County Democratic Party, which helped organize the local protest. “Our country has flaws, but we love it. This is our home. We’re not going to sit idle.”

Over 1000 people gathered at the Bicentennial Mall State Park June 14 for the No Kings protest, a nationwide movement with around 2000 events across the country. The event was lively and peaceful, with groups of musicians leading a number of chants and dance circles forming on the lawn.
