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.

The No Kings events come after days of protests following raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles, and Trump’s subsequent deployment of thousands of National Guard and U.S. Marines troops to “temporarily protect” ICE and other federal personnel, along with federal property.

A military parade will also take place in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. military, White House officials have announced. Here is a breakdown on the No Kings movement and what to know ahead of the protests:Start the day smarter.

The June 14 "No Kings" protests, organized by activist group Indivisible and its partners, are part of a "nationwide day of defiance," with events slated to occur across the country. Falling on Flag Day and Trump's birthday, the day of protest are intended to help counter Trump's planned Washington, D.C. military parade.

The “No Kings” rallies were organized in nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, including cities, towns, and community spaces.

A flagship "No Kings" march and rally are planned in Philadelphia, but no events are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place on Trump's 79th birthday. Organizers of the protests say they want to take attention away from the parade.

Part of a national day of mobilization, the protests were scheduled the same day as President Trump's military parade in Washington, D.C.
