Nationwide ‘No Kings’ Protests Anticipated Amid President Trump's Military Parade for His 79th Birthday

As a military parade is set to traverse Washington, DC, on Saturday—coinciding with President Donald Trump’s birthday—organizers anticipate a significant uprising among Americans opposing his administration, claiming this may be the most robust show of dissent since Trump assumed office. Over 2,000 protests are scheduled across all 50 states under the banner of the No Kings movement, aimed at rejecting “authoritarianism and the militarization of democracy.” This wave of protests directly counters the president's lavish display celebrating the 250th anniversary of the US Army. Major cities, including Los Angeles and New York, are bracing for large crowds, with leaders urging peaceful demonstrations while emphasizing safety. Organizers predict record participation, with activist Ezra Levin highlighting the potential of the No Kings rallies to surpass previous turnouts significantly, capturing the essence of nationwide discontent against the current administration. Their message is clear: “In America, we don't do kings.”
