Thousands of anti-Trump protests are erupting across the United States this weekend under the banner of “No Kings” day.
The largest "No Kings" protest on June 14 is expected to take place in Philadelphia as a nod to the country's history and to avoid accusations that protesters are opposing the Army parade in the nation's capital, organizers have said.
At the rally in downtown Wilmington, the crowd started to gather well before the advertised start time of noon. By 11:30 a.m., hundreds were already in attendance with many carrying signs with slogans such as "Resistance is patriotic," Stop illegal deportations," "Power to the people," and "Trump Lies."
Columbus' massive Pride celebration takes place June 14. Meanwhile, No Kings rallies are planned across the region, state and nation.
The Chicago Teachers Union will be joining the "No Kings" march in downtown Chicago on Saturday, June 14, according to the union's website. The march is scheduled for the same day a massive military parade is set to take to the streets of Washington in an elaborate showcase of troops, tanks, weapons and aircraft.
The organizers of this weekend's upcoming "No Kings" protests have issued a video reminding people about the event. The video, released on the No Kings website, reminds those planning to attend of details and calls on people to join the protests.
