In the Greater Boston area, thousands of “No Kings” marches and rallies are taking place, part of major demonstrations planned across the country.

The " No Kings National Day of Mobilization " will take place at the same time as a planned military parade, planned by the Trump administration in Washington, D.C. The parade celebrates the 250th founding of the U.S. Army but also happens to coincide with President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.

Anti-Trump protests sprang up across the country the same day the president was hosting a military parade in Washington.

Americans have a right to assemble and a right to petition for the redress of grievances. They will use those rights this weekend to resist Trumpism.
