Tens of thousands of Americans joined "No Kings" protests across the United States against the Trump administration.

The first of two rallies against the Trump administration in North Carolina’s capital city took place on Capital Boulevard near Triangle Town Center in North Raleigh.

Thousands gathered in Daley Plaza and in suburban events in protests timed to coincide with a military parade in Washington celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.

More than 1,500 events were announced throughout the U.S. to send a loud message to President Donald Trump: “In America, we don’t do kings.”

Columbus' massive Pride celebration takes place June 14. Meanwhile, No Kings rallies are planned across the region, state and nation.

Loren Malone, co-founder of Indivisible Tri-Cities, the local organizer, estimates nearly 5,000 peaceful demonstrators from around the region showed up to the “No Kings Day” protest. Kennewick was one of 2,000 cities across the nation that held protests expected to draw millions this weekend.

Thousands gathered in downtown Rock Hill on Saturday for a “No Kings” rally and march, joining national demonstrations coinciding with Flag Day and a military parade in Washington, D.C., by President Donald Trump to honor the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.
