Thousands are expected to turn out for "No Kings" rallies against President Donald Trump's actions. Here's how organizers and authorities are preparing.

Organizers have planned demonstrations in cities and towns across the country on the same day as President Trump’s parade in Washington to celebrate the Army.

"No Kings" protests have been organized nationwide in response to a massive military parade in Washington, D.C.

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.

We implore everyone not to play into Trump’s hands and fall for his schemes,” the chair of the Washington State Democratic Party said in a statement.

Thousands of communities across the country have No Kings demonstrations scheduled for June 14, which is also the same day as the Trump administration has planned a pomp-filled military parade in Washington, D.C. June 14 is the day the Continental Congress voted to form the Continental Army in 1775.

The No Kings Day of Defiance protests will happen during the military parade in Washington on Saturday for the Army’s 250th anniversary — which coincides with Trump’s birthday.

Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Arlington, other North Texas cities.

The "No Kings" Chicago protest Saturday in Daley Plaza is one of the anchor events for a national anti-Trump movement. It is one of more than 1,800 protests being held nationwide in response to the Trump military parade.

Demonstrators will assemble at 11 a.m. at St. Paul College and begin marching to the Minnesota Capitol at noon, according to organizers including Indivisible Twin Cities, MN50501, Women’s March Minnesota and MN AFL-CIO labor unions.
