'No Kings' day protests planned as Trump, Musk fight publicly: See when, where
Protesters in California and across the country are gearing up for "No Kings" demonstrations against President Donald Trump on Saturday, June 14.
The "No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance" is scheduled as counterprogramming to a military parade marking the Army's 250th anniversary that's happening the same day in Washington, D.C., according to the Indivisible Project, an organization backing the protests. June 14 is also Trump's birthday.
"Donald Trump wants tanks in the streets and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday," Indivisible stated in a news release. "A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn't staged in Washington – it rises up everywhere else."
The upcoming protests follow similar "Hands Off!" and "May Day" demonstrations against Trump and influential billionaire Elon Musk. They're also set after Trump and Musk began publicly fighting.
Here's what to know about the actions happening on June 14 in California, across the country, and in the nation's capital.

The parade is scheduled to take place on Trump's 79th birthday, but event organizers and administration officials insist the event is solely a celebration of the Army.
Vince Haley, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, said in a statement that Trump is planning "a historic celebration of the Army's 250th birthday."
"As one of the first events of the year-long celebration of our 250th anniversary, this commemorative parade will be a fitting tribute to the service, sacrifice, and selflessness of the brave men and women who have worn the uniform and devoted their lives to defending the greatest experiment in liberty known to man," Haley said.
The Second Continental Congress established the Continental Army on June 14, 1775, "as a united colonial response against the British enemy," according to the National Museum of the United States Army.
The parade has been estimated to cost from $30 million to $45 million, USA TODAY reported.
