Demonstrations are being held at cities across the U.S. on Saturday, ahead of President Donald Trump’s military parade celebrating the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary in Washington, D.C.

Organizers from the 50501 Movement say the protests, being held under the “No Kings” banner, are aimed “corruption” and “authoritarian” tendencies in the Trump administration, including decisions on immigration and uses of federal force in cities like Los Angeles.
