Protesting the direction of the country under President Donald Trump, and what organizers call his authoritarian policies, millions of people gathered in communities across the U.S. for “No Kings” demonstrations.
The main Miami gathering takes place downtown from 10 am to 1 pm at the Torch of Friendship outside Bayfront Park (301 Biscayne Boulevard), a familiar stage for past protests that have drawn thousands of sign-waving locals under the palms. Nearby Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and West Palm Beach will also see companion events throughout the day.
Thousands of people gathered in the heart of downtown Dayton and Troy Saturday with one mission in mind: to speak out against what they feel are the wrongdoings of the Trump administration. The second set of No Kings took place in the Miami Valley and across the nation.
Crowds hit the streets Saturday in cities and towns across the country to vent their anger over President Trump's policies in "No Kings" protests.
