As President Donald Trump prepared to host a military parade in Washington to mark the 250th anniversary of the Army and his 79th birthday, thousands of Atlanta residents took to the streets for ‘No Kings’ protests across the Atlanta metro area.

Tens of thousands of Americans joined "No Kings" protests across the United States against the Trump administration.

Protesters in Georgia are planning a day of defiance against Trump, with events in Atlanta and other cities nationwide.

Hundreds rally in Atlanta's Liberty Plaza for 'No Kings' to protest Trump's policies. Chants of 'Immigrants are welcome here' echoed loudly.

The demonstrations follow more than a week of large-scale protests in Los Angeles against Mr. Trump’s immigration crackdown and his decision to deploy the military there. Protesters gathered in Liberty Plaza outside of the Georgia State Capitol in Downtown Atlanta.

Minutes after Atlanta’s “No Kings” protest began, organizers announced that the venue’s 5,000-person capacity had been reached.

Crowds of demonstrators gathered around the country on Saturday, protesting what they called President Trump’s overreach.

Organizers have planned demonstrations in cities and towns across the country on the same day as President Trump’s parade in Washington to celebrate the Army.

No Kings” demonstrations are underway in hundreds of cities across the U.S. in protest of what organizers describe as President Donald Trump’s authoritarian policies involving recent immigration raids.
