ATLANTA — Thousands of people are expected to participate in protests across north Georgia on Saturday. Organizers are planning nearly two dozen protests all across metro Atlanta and north Georgia as part of the nationwide “No Kings” demonstrations against President Donald Trump and his policies.

Protesters gathered in major Georgia cities on Saturday to protest President Donald Trump’s administration and its immigration enforcement policies, part of a broader wave of demonstrations across the country.

Protesters in Georgia are planning a day of defiance against Trump, with events in Atlanta and other cities nationwide.

As President Donald Trump prepared to host a military parade in Washington to mark the 250th anniversary of the Army and his 79th birthday, thousands of Atlanta residents took to the streets for ‘No Kings’ protests across the Atlanta metro area.

The rallies counter a large military parade in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary and Flag Day.

Organizers of the planned “No Kings” event in Atlanta say they’ve taken every step to ensure a morning of peaceful demonstration.

Millions marched in cities and towns across the U.S. in "No Kings" protests to rally against the Trump administration.

A flagship "No Kings" march and rally are planned in Philadelphia, but no events are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place on Trump's 79th birthday. Organizers of the protests say they want to take attention away from the parade.
