Thousands protest against Trump in Tennessee, calling out authoritarian tendencies during the 'No Kings' movement.

Demonstrators are expected to gather at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. as part of the national No Kings protest movement.

Protesters are set to hit the streets across the country today.

The protests are part of a nationwide demonstration against President Donald Trump. The flagship “No Kings” march and rally are planned in Philadelphia, but no events are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., where amilitary parade will take place for Trump’s birthday.

Memphians gathered in the Bluff City on Saturday, June 14, at Poplar and Highland for a protest organized by Indivisible Tennessee.

There are at least 24 protests planned across the state of Tennessee, including several in Middle Tennessee from Clarksville to Pulaski to Murfreesboro and more. Organizers say they expect the largest rally to happen in Nashville.

Over 1000 people gathered at the Bicentennial Mall State Park June 14 for the No Kings protest, a nationwide movement with around 2000 events across the country. Despite the spotty rain and dreary conditions, the event was lively and peaceful, with groups of musicians leading a number of chants and dance circles forming on the lawn.
