Thousands of people are expected to rally in hundreds of cities across America on Saturday to protest the Trump administration and counter the president’s military parade in Washington, D.C. to mark the Army’s 250th birthday. Today is also Flag Day, which commemorates the adoption of the U.S. flag on June 14, 1777.

The counter-protesters are framing their demonstrations under the slogan “No Kings,” describing it as a “day of defiance” against Trump and his allies while other have been calling for the president to be “dethroned.”

Protests are set to take place in over 2,000 cities across all 50 U.S. states, as well as in several international locations.

The protest in Philadelphia is the flagship event, given its historical significance in the War of Independence against the British Empire and King George III.

New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Austin and Houston will host rallies as well as Dallas, Fort Worth, Miami, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Kissimmee and Apopka.

According to the 50501 website demonstrators are taking to the streets to fight what they say is an authoritarian Trump regime.
