Millions of people across the country are expected to join in protest this weekend against Donald Trump’s administration, a movement intended to coincide with the president’s planned military parade in Washington — and the commander-in-chief’s 79th birthday.

“No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance,” the organizers write on their website. “From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like.” Here’s what to know about No Kings protests in the Charlotte area.

Saturday's No Kings protest is expected to draw thousands of people, said Kristi Pham of organizer 50501 Houston, which is calling for the event to remain peaceful, as they have in the past. Organizers also are collecting nonperishable food donations for several local food banks.

Rachel Maddow reports on the planning of a massive protest event called "No Kings" scheduled for Saturday, June 14th, overshadowing Donald Trump's theatrical military parade, and marking a new peak in anti-Trump activism.
