Overview

• The 'No Kings' protests will mobilize opponents of President Trump's rising authoritarianism in over 1,500 locations nationwide on June 14.
• Organizers cite recent immigration raids and the deployment of troops to Los Angeles —which led to at least 40 arrests —as catalysts for the demonstrations.
• More than two dozen rallies in Southern California and major gatherings in San Francisco and Oakland will coincide with Trump's military parade celebrating the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary and his birthday.
• Organizers have recruited safety marshals trained in de-escalation tactics and are coordinating closely with local police to enforce nonviolent protest guidelines.
• Cities from San Francisco to Anaheim are preparing for short-term road closures and transit delays as police and fire departments deploy staff to maintain public safety.
