The “No Kings” rallies were organized in nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, including cities, towns, and community spaces.

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.

No Kings has identified on its website more than 1,800 cities nationwide, including about 70 in Michigan, where demonstrators are set to gather to express disapproval.

The No Kings events come after days of protests following raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles, and Trump’s subsequent deployment of thousands of National Guard and U.S. Marines troops to “temporarily protect” ICE and other federal personnel, along with federal property.

In Muskingum Park, residents of the Mid-Ohio Valley were coming together for a different reason. Lisa Bammerlin, a concerned citizen, said over 200 people came out to be in one of the hundreds of No Kings protests taking place across the United States.

Demonstrators gathered in communities large and small. Many events on the East Coast have ended, but police clashed with some protesters in L.A.

At the Mentor event, as of 12:30 p.m., protesters on the south side of Mentor Avenue stretched from the Great Lakes Mall’s entrance near Round One to the area across from Mentor Fire Station
