Protesters filled plazas, streets and parks across the country on Saturday, mounting a mass mobilization that called for protecting American democracy from a president that many decried as authoritarian. The demonstrations set off in waves as the day progressed, in small towns and major cities including New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles, the heart of a surging protest movement against President Trump.
Some 2,000 events, organized under the slogan “No Kings,” were planned across all 50 states, animated by the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, domestic military mobilization, federal spending cuts and Mr. Trump’s planned military parade in Washington, which was coinciding with his 79th birthday. Many demonstrators struck patriotic themes, waving American flags, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance or carrying signs referencing the nation’s founding fathers.
