A 33-mile trip from one protest in Annapolis, Md., to the parade grandstand in front of the White House was like a journey between two different countries.
Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.
The procession, with more than 6,000 soldiers and 128 Army tanks, was one Trump tried to make happen in his first term.
The event was one of more than 2,000 “No Kings” rallies held across the country on Saturday, protesting what organizers call “authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy.
The rallies were among hundreds of "No Kings" protests held throughout the United States, timed to coincide with a military parade celebrating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C. Saturday was also Trump's 79th birthday.
Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in nearly 2,000 cities and towns this weekend.
Additional celebrities including Anna Kendrick, Gina Rodriguez-LoCicero and Tessa Thompson were out on Saturday to protest against the Trump administration.
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.
