A flagship "No Kings" march and rally are planned in Philadelphia, but no events are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place on Trump's 79th birthday. Organizers of the protests say they want to take attention away from the parade.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cities large and small were preparing for major demonstrations Saturday across the U.S. against President Donald Trump, as officials urge calm, National Guard troops mobilize and Trump attends a military parade in Washington to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary.

At least 1,500 "No Kings" protests nationwide are planned Saturday on the same day President Donald Trump scheduled a large-scale military parade in Washington, D.C. on Flag Day and his 79th birthday.

"No Kings" protests against the Trump administration are set to take place today in and around New York City as part of nationwide demonstrations. The protests coincide with Saturday's military parade in Washington,

Anti-Trump protests are planned for Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, Gettysburg and thousands of other places throughout central Pennsylvania and the nation.

Most of the events in Sarasota and Manatee counties took place this morning, though the rally scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. at J.D. Hamel Park on Sarasota's bayfront is expected to draw the largest number of protesters.

Protests erupted across the U.S. earlier this week, in response to the raids against undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles. At times, the demonstrations took a violent turn as self-driving Waymo taxis were set on fire and concrete was hurled at law enforcement officers.
