Highlights From 'No Kings Day' Protests Around the US
- On Saturday, June 14, nearly 2,000 'No Kings Day' protests against President Donald Trump took place across the U.S., coinciding with the Army's 250th anniversary and Trump's 79th birthday.
- Organizers planned the protests in response to Trump's request for a costly military parade in Washington, D.C., which many viewed as government overreach conflicting with ongoing unrest over immigration and National Guard deployments.

- The events aimed to build community awareness against authoritarianism, encouraging education and organizing, and reflected a nationwide resistance rejecting strongman politics amid the military parade celebrations.
