Thousands of anti-Trump protests are erupting across the United States this weekend under the banner of “No Kings” day.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cities large and small were preparing for major demonstrations Saturday across the U.S. against President Donald Trump, as officials urge calm, National Guard troops mobilize and Trump attends a military parade in Washington to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary.

Los Angeles and cities around the nation are bracing for 'No Kings' protests ahead of Trump's military parade as an appeals court ruling keeps the National Guard under the president's control for now.

Millions of people across the country are expected to join in protest this weekend against Donald Trump’s administration, a movement intended to coincide with the president’s planned military parade in Washington — and the commander-in-chief’s 79th birthday.

Police in Sonoma and Napa counties are preparing as North Bay protesters join a nationwide wave of No Kings Day rallies.

As many as 2,000 protests are planned across the country. Organizers say they’re meant as a counteraction to Trump’s lavish parade, which also happens to fall on his birthday.

During hard times, good leaders find ways to speak to all of the people and to remind them of our common American interests.
