Where are 'No Kings' protests happening in the IE Saturday?

A dozen Inland Empire cities will host coordinated protests this Saturday as part of the nationwide “No Kings Day of Defiance."

The movement is organized 50501, a national grassroots movement whose name stands for “50 states, 50 protests, one movement.” Organizers describe the coordinated protests as a rejection of authoritarianism and a call for renewed commitment to democracy, equality and the rule of law.

Saturday's protest is expected to be the largest single-day mobilization since President Trump returned to office.

Why Saturday?

The June 14 date was chosen to coincide with Trump’s 79th birthday, Flag Day, and a military parade scheduled to be held in Washington, D.C.

Organizers say more than 2,000 local demonstrations are planned.
