Overview

• On June 14, roughly 2,000 protests took place in all 50 states and in Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico, aligning with President Trump’s 79th birthday and a military parade in Washington, D.C.
• Demonstrators carried banners and chanted slogans denouncing President Trump as a would-be monarch, with some flying U.S. flags upside down as distress signals.
• The demonstrations were organized by Indivisible, the ACLU and the nonprofit 50501, which critics contend leveraged untraceable NGO funding to coordinate the events.
• Most rallies remained peaceful, though some metropolitan areas, including New York and Los Angeles, experienced minor scuffles during large crowds.
• High-profile figures such as Jimmy Kimmel, Jack Black, Mark Ruffalo and Susan Sarandon joined marches or shared images of the protests on social media.
