'No Kings' Anti-Trump Protest Locations on June 14

Multiple protests are being held in various cities in each state, but no events are being planned for Washington, D.C.

Organizers say that a major march and rally will take place in Philadelphia to "draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade in Washington."

What People Are Saying

Organizers of the protests say on the "No Kings" website: "On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn't staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

"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."

President Donald Trump said on Meet the Press in May about the parade: "I view it for Flag Day, not necessarily my birthday. Somebody put it together. But no, I think we're going to do something on June 14, maybe or somewhere around there. But I think June 14—it's a very important day."

What Happens Next

Organizers are calling for people to attend demonstrations being held across the country or to organize their own event.
