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

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.

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

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

Georgia's leaders stress order ahead of planned protests, distinguishing between peaceful assembly and violence.

Around 2,000 protests were planned on Saturday in opposition to President Donald Trump. Large crowds turned out in cities like Portland, Denver, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles – and in smaller communities in traditionally conservative areas.

Protesters nationwide gather to oppose President Trump's planned military parade coinciding with his birthday, organized by the 50501 Movement. Events showcase the fight for democracy against symbols of authoritarianism.
