"No Kings" Day organizers say it is more important than ever to have a "national day of peaceful protest" on June 14 following the decision by President Donald Trump to send in Marines and the Nation...

There were funnel cakes, stands of festival bling and American flags aplenty.

Tanks, troops, and marching bands rolled through Washington in a parade of American military power, a show met by thousands of citizens who showed another kind of power: protest.

From Silver Spring and Bethesda and Gaithersburg in Maryland, to Fairfax and Falls Church and Arlington in Virginia, people throughout the region came out for “ No Kings Day of Defiiance ” protests. (There was not a “No Kings” protest in DC itself, but there was a march from Logan Circle to the White House organized by Refuse Fascism .)

Coordinated "No Kings" protests are underway from coast-to-coast, part of a "national day of peaceful protest" against the Trump administration that is expected to draw millions.

More than 30 towns and cities in the state will join the "No Kings" protests against Trump's executive actions since returning to office in January, according to the national website for the protests.
