Pro-democracy campaigners late Monday announced a nationwide “No Kings” day of defiance on June 14—the same day U.S. President Donald Trump plans to hold a birthday military parade more befitting a dictator than an elected head of state.

More than 100 “No Kings” events have already been registered across the U.S., with many more expected in the weeks ahead of the day of action.

See the full list of planned events and locations here.

      Don’t spread the fear they want us to have to stop people from acting. This is a nationwide protest - not a protest at the parade itself. This isn’t the first nationwide protest against Trump recently nor will it be the last. There have been millions on the street across the US without incident on April 5th, April 19th, and May 1st. There were smaller nationwide protests on February 5th, February 17th, and March 4th as well

        I’m not trying to fearmonger or anything it just reminded me of it is all. We’re dealing with an actual dictator so it’s not exactly out of the realm of possibilities.
