Demonstrators marched through the streets of Fort Collins June 14 as part of nationwide "No Kings" protests against the Trump administration.

No Kings' protests decrying President Donald Trump are happening across the U.S. The army is hosting a military parade for its 250th birthday in Washington, D.C.

Thousands gathered Saturday morning in cities around Central Florida and the state as part of what’s being called a “nationwide day of defiance” against the man in the Oval Office they say

The"No Kings" protests are planned to oppose what they see as Trump's power grab. The number of planned events is nearly double that of the April 5 "Hands Off" protest that saw millions of Americans turn out in big and small cities nationwide.

No Kings protests were held Saturday in nearly 2,000 places across the U.S. The protests were planned on the same day as the military parade in D.C.

The rallies were part of a wave of demonstrations opposing the Trump administration and took place just hours before a planned military parade in Washington.

Columbus' massive Pride celebration takes place June 14. Meanwhile, No Kings rallies are planned across the region, state and nation.
