Around 1,800 protests are set to coincide with President Trump's military parade in Washington, D.C. yet none planned in the U.S. capital. Here's why.

Crowds of protesters gathered nationwide Saturday for ‘No Kings’ protests, opposing President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies. The demonstrations coincided with the Army’s 250th anniversary parade,

On Saturday, a military parade will end with fireworks to mark the Army's 250th anniversary, which also happens to coincide with President Donald Trump's birthday and Flag Day. The 'No Kings' protest are set to counter what organizers say are Trump's plans to feed his ego on his 79th birthday.

That’s part of why George Atkinson, a former high school government teacher, felt compelled to join a protest in downtown Houston on Saturday. The 89-year-old affixed a sign to his walker that read, “The clothes have no emperor! He’s all hat and no cattle!”

“The most threatening sound to an oligarch is laughter.”

The Houston demonstration is one of several planned in the region throughout the day and is expected to draw thousands of protesters.

As a military parade rolls through Washington, DC, on Saturday – President Donald Trump’s birthday – millions of Americans are expected to protest in what organizers predict will be the strongest display of opposition to Trump’s administration since he took office in January.

Dozens of protests and rallies against the Trump administration are set to take place in the Bay Area this weekend, as part of the nationwide "No Kings" movement.
