‘No Kings’ protests held nationwide in opposition to Trump’s policies

People gathered in cities across the U.S. over the weekend, for rallies dubbed the “No Kings” protests in opposition to President Donald Trump’s policies.

The demonstrations were held in part to counter a military parade Trump hosted in Washington and came after a full week of protests in Los Angeles in response to immigration crackdowns.

Lawmakers, union leaders, and activists all gave speeches across the U.S. on Saturday, pushing back against some of the President’s more divisive policies.

Most of the events were a way for Americans to peacefully exercise their first amendment right, but others sparked violence.
