More than 1,500 cities are expected to host 'No Kings' events from coast to coast, according to the organization's website.

More: Latest News from Around the Tri-State NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch and Mayor Eric Adams both promised to protect the right to protest as long as it's peaceful.

'I understand that some New Yorkers may be angry, afraid, and I understand, NYC will always be a place to peacefully protest, but we will not allow lawlessness.' 'We have no tolerance for property damage, we have no tolerance for people blocking entrances to buildings or blocking driveways or blocking cars for moving,' Tisch said.
