The opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are scheduled to gather in hundreds of cities on Saturday during the military parade in Washington to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the army, which coincides with the birthday of Mr. Trump.
The “non -kings” protests are scheduled to confront what the organizers say are the plans of Mr. Trump to honor his 79th birthday. “No Kings” will follow several days of protests at the country level against federal immigration raids, including in Los Angeles, where Mr. Trump’s deployment of the National Guard sparked his opponents.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott follows the president’s braid. Mr. Abbott said on Thursday that he had ordered the deployment of more than 5,000 National Guard forces in Texas, along with more than 2000 state police, in response to the ongoing demonstrations and preparation for the protests “not kings.”
It has already been planned to celebrate the army’s birthday. But earlier this spring, Mr. Trump announced his intention to raise this event to include the battle tanks 60 tons of Abrams and an lymphic that revolves around the city’s streets. He has long sought a similar presentation of the national power.
Why is it called “no kings”?
The issue of “No Kings” was organized through the 50501 movement, a national movement consisting of ordinary Americans standing for democracy and against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. Name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement.
The protests earlier this year condemned Mr. Trump and billionaire advisor Illon Musk, the former leader of the Ministry of Governmental efficiency of Mr. Trump, a government organization aimed at reducing federal spending. The demonstrators called for Mr. Trump to be “conceited” as they compare his actions to the king’s actions, not a democratic elected president.
“They challenged our courts, the Americans, they disappeared people outside the streets, attacked our civil rights, and cut our services,” the group says on the Internet, in reference to the Trump, and they cut our civil rights, and they cut our services, “referring to the Trump administration and its policies. “They did all this while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.”
Why are they protesting on Saturday?
No Kings of Defiance was organized to reject tyranny, the first billionaire policy, and the militarization of democracy in the country, according to a statement by the organizers.
Organizers intend to protests to confront the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the army – which Mr. Trump climbed to include an expensive military procession. The event will include hundreds of vehicles, military aircraft, and thousands of soldiers. It also happens that his birthday is 79 and the day of science.
“The science does not belong to President Trump. It belongs to us.” “On June 14, we appear everywhere no – we will not say no thrones, no crown, no kings.”
Where will the protests happen?
The organizers said that the protests in nearly 2000 sites are scheduled throughout the country, from the city’s blocs to small cities, from the court’s steps to community gardens.
No protests have been determined in Washington, DC, where the military parade will be held. The group says it “will do a job everywhere, America’s story on that day.”
“No Kings” instead plans to hold a major march and gather in Philadelphia to attract a clear contradiction between its movement that works with people and what the organizers described on their website as “an expensive, waste, and non -American birthday procession” in Washington.
What has been planned in the “No Kings” protests?
The organizers said in a call on Wednesday that people of all ages are expected to meet in protest sites for speeches, march, carrying signs, and waving American flags.
On the group’s website, it says that the primary principle behind all the events of “no kings” is an commitment to non -violent work, and it is expected that the participants will seek to remove any possible confrontation.
No weapons should be transferred of any kind to the events of “no kings”, according to the site.
How many people are expected to participate?
Organizers said that it is expected that the day of the challenge, which is no longer the largest mobilization of one day since Mr. Trump has returned to his post. The organizers said that they are preparing for millions of people to go to the streets in all fifty states and the Commonwealth.
