As thousands of U.S. troops and their tanks and armored vehicles will make their way down the streets of Washington, D.C., on June 14 for a parade celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th birthday, protesters in Jacksonville and across the nation are taking to the streets of their communities to rally against President Donald Trump, who will celebrate his 79th birthday the same day.
"No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like," the movement's website says. Adding, "On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t — to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings."
Over 1,500 cities throughout the country have planned protests. With dozens of demonstrations planned across Texas, organizers expect the band of protests to amount to the largest single-day mobilization since Trump returned to office.
