On the heels of President Donald Trump deploying the National Guard and the U.S. Marine Corp to demonstrations in Los Angeles and coinciding with the president’s military parade in Washington, D.C., nationwide protests are set for Saturday, June 14 in opposition of Trump.
Thousands of planned “No Kings Day” demonstrations to take place on Saturday, June 14 across the country. Protest organizers say the president’s actions are authoritarian. The series of demonstrations, which fall on Flag Day this year, is expected to be the largest single-day mobilization since Trump re-took office in January.
“In America, we don’t do kings,” a website created for the new group read online on June 13. “They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings.“
