No Kings protests do not take place across the country against President Donald Trump.
Saturday’s protests were planned to fight the celebrations on the 79th birthday of Trump, which is on the day of the flag and the 250th anniversary of the Army.
NO Kings protests are a day of contempt of the whole country, organized to reject authoritarianism, first and foremost billionaire politics and militarization of democracy.

That’s all you need to know:
Why is it called “not kings”?
The theme of the No Kings was organized by the 50501 movement, the national movement consisting of everyday Americans who stand for democracy and before what they call the authoritarian actions of Trump’s administration. Name 50501 means 50 states, 50 protests, one movement.
The protests at the beginning of this year condemned Elon Musk, a short and billionaire advisor, now a former leader of the Trump Government Efficiency, a government organization to reduce federal costs. The protesters called for a short to be “sank” because they compare his actions with the actions of the king, not a democratically elected president.
“They disregarded our courts, exiled Americans, disappeared people from the streets, attacked our civil rights and reduced our services,” Trump’s administration and its policy on their website read on their website. “They did all this and continued to serve and enrich their billionaires allies.”
Why are they protesting on Saturday?
A day of disregard for the NO Kings was held to reject authoritarianism, first and foremost a billionaire policy and militarization of the country’s democracy, according to a statement by the organizers.
Organizers intend to protest the fight against the 250th anniversary of the anniversary – which Trump organized to cover an expensive, generous military parade. Hundreds of military vehicles and aircraft and thousands of soldiers will attend the event. His 79th birthday and flag day also happen.
“The flag does not belong to President Trump. It belongs to us,” the NO Kings said. “June 14th we show wherever he is not – to say there are no thrones, no crowns, no kings.”
Where will the protests take place?
Protests are expected to be almost 2000 seats across the country, from city blocks to small towns, from the steps to the courts of the court to community parks, the organizers said.
However, in Washington, DC, where the military parade will take place, will take place. The group says she will “do actions everywhere else where the story of America is that day.”
Instead, No Kings plans to hold a model march and a rally in Philadelphia to have a clear contrast between its people’s movement and what the organizers described on their website as a “expensive, wasted and non -American birthday parade” in Washington.
How many people are expected to participate?
The NO KINGS failure day is expected to be the biggest one -day mobilization after the short return to office, the organizers said. The organizers said they were preparing for millions of people to go to the streets in all 50 states and Commonwealth.
In Boston, the protest will coincide with the annual Pride Parade – LGBTQ+ Community Festival.
Demonstrations are also held in the state of 90 seats in the state of Massachusetts, including Worcester, Springfield, Hyannis and Pitsfield.
