More than 1,500 events are planned throughout the U.S. to send a loud message to President Donald Trump: “In America, we don’t do kings.”

"No Kings," a nationwide series of protests scheduled for Saturday, was planned as a counter to the military parade taking place in Washington D.C. on the same day. That parade is being held in honor of the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and, coincidentally, Mr. Trump's 79th birthday.

Social justice groups across the country will demonstrate on June 14, as part of a national day of action organized by the 50501 movement.

President Trump ordered National Guard troops to the area after clashes over immigration-enforcement operations.
