A series of demonstrations across the U.S. will take place on Saturday, including in many parts of the Los Angeles region.
What are the “No Kings” protests?
Dubbed the “No Kings” protests, they're organized by 50501, a national group that stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement. The group has staged protests regularly against the policies of the Trump administration.
Why Saturday?
Saturday is Flag Day, and President Donald Trump is hosting a military parade in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the Army’s 250th birthday. June 14 is also Trump’s 79th birthday, which is why the protests are falling on that day, according to their website.
