Thousands of protests planned for Saturday across U.S.
Event organizers said thousands of “No Kings” protests will be held across the country on Saturday, including in Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta, New York City, Minneapolis, and Houston. Millions of people are expected to attend.
Women’s March is organizing what it says will be “the biggest protest circus in the country” to counter the military parade in Washington, D.C.
“Tomorrow, we take the streets with creativity, courage, and chaos to call out the real clowns in power,” the group said in a Facebook post.
Events will be held across the country, with the flagship rally taking place in Madison, Wisconsin.
Later today, Service Employees International Union Local 721, which represents 100,000 Southern California employees, will kick off its Summer of Resistance. The union said it will be 30 days of “nonviolent action to protect our families and fight back against mass deportations.”
