Nationwide Anti-Trump ‘No Kings’ protests set for Saturday

Millions of protesters on Saturday are expected to join “No Kings” demonstrations nationwide in opposition to the Trump administration's overall agenda, including its deployment of military troops in U.S. cities.

Axar.az informs, citing Newsweek, the "No Kings" movement has previously organized mass rallies against the policies of President Donald Trump's White House, coordinating 1,800 protests across the United States on June 14, the birthday shared by Trump and the U.S. Army, as the military branch marked 250 years in the spring.

While many of the protests remained peaceful, there were some instances of violence, including a vehicular assault in Virginia.

The protests will arrive as the federal government shutdown approaches its third week.

The organizer’s website says that “On October 18, millions of us are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.” There are hundreds of protests planned, with at least one in every state, according to the website’s event tracker.

Protests are planned across the U.S. on October 18. The timing depends on location, with all the events listed on the "No Kings" website. Large protests are expected in major cities, including New York, Boston, Chicago, Kansas City, New Orleans and San Francisco. Some are scheduled to start in the late morning and others in the early afternoon

The "No Kings" movement aims to mobilize protesters "to defend democratic norms and reject authoritarianism," according to its website. The campaign said that Trump’s recent deployment of the National Guard and law enforcement into U.S. cities “isn’t just politics. It’s democracy versus dictatorship. And together, we’re choosing democracy.
