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.

According to the group’s website, similar protests are set to kick off in more than 1,000 cities across the country, including several Chicago suburbs. The rallies are intended to counter the military parade president Donald Trump has planned to mark the U.

Among the more than 2,000 “No Kings” protests planned nationwide Saturday, organizers anticipate that the one in downtown Chicago will be one of the largest.

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.
