Thousands of people are gathering in Philadelphia and other cities across the United States today, June 14, for "No Kings Day" events as part of a coordinated protest against the Trump administration.

Philadelphia will be the site of a “flagship protest” in a nationwide movement opposing President Donald Trump’s Administration on the same day as a major military parade in Washington. The demonstration is expected to disrupt traffic throughout the day.

In a city known as the cradle of American democracy, an impassioned, hourslong protest filled the streets for a ‘No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance.’

Protests across the country are meant to express frustration over President Trump's actions that organizers say are authoritarian.

The largest "No Kings" protest on June 14 is expected to take place in Philadelphia as a nod to the country's history and to avoid accusations that protesters are opposing the Army parade in the nation's capital, organizers have said.
