No Kings mass protests against Donald Trump’s policies held across different states in the United States of America on Saturday, June 14.
The protests, which saw a massive turnout, held the same day as a military parade organised by Trump in Washington to celebrate the Army’s 250th birthday and also the same day as Trump’s 79th birthday.

Hundreds of thousands of people across the country took to the streets to protest President Trump and his policies. The No Kings marches and rallies were also held to protest against Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C.
Masses of demonstrators packed into streets, parks and plazas across the United States, with protesters marching through downtowns and small towns, blaring anti-authoritarian chants mixed with support for protecting democracy and immigrant rights.

Organizers of the “No Kings” demonstrations said millions had marched in hundreds of events.
Huge, boisterous crowds marched, danced, drummed, and chanted shoulder-to-shoulder in New York, Denver, Chicago, Austin and Los Angeles, some behind “no kings” banners.

In spite of the protests, Donald Trump presided over a military parade on June 14 in Washington, D.C., honoring the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary. The event featured thousands of soldiers, hundreds of vehicles and dozens of military aircraft and is estimated to have cost tens of millions of dollars.
The president, who celebrated his 79th birthday the same day, delivered remarks during the parade honoring soldiers.
