Where are the 'No Kings' protests and demonstrations being held
All of the "No Kings" marches, rallies and demonstrations were deliberately organized to coincide with the Army's "Grand Military Parade and Celebration, which also falls on Trump's 79th birthday and Flag Day. Administration officials insist it is a coincidence that the parade falls on Trump's birthday.
"Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption," according to a statement posted on the official "No Kings" event website.
The "No Kings" demonstrations are expected to be the largest and most numerous protests since Trump's second term began, dwarfing the Hands Off! protests in early April that drew as many as 1 million Americans to the streets at more than 1,000 rallies.
"They've defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services," reads a statement from the official "No Kings" event website. "The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings."
