SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Chanting “This is what democracy looks like,” thousands of protesters were in downtown Sacramento on Saturday as part of a nationwide day of demonstrations. The “No Kings” protests, staged in cities across the country, were organized in response to Saturday's military parade in Washington, D.C.

It’s people’s basic right to protest,” former Black Panther member Billy X. Jennings said during a day of celebrations at the museum.

Thousands showed up at multiple ‘No Kings’ rallies in Sacramento, Yolo, Placer and El Dorado counties to protest President Trump on the same day as a military parade in Washington D.C.

Law enforcement in Los Angeles have attempted to disperse protesters by using tear gas on Saturday afternoon, aerial footage shows.

The U.S. Army celebrated its 250th anniversary on Saturday with a massive military parade in Washington, D.C., against a backdrop of political division and protests savaging President Trump.
