Protesters will take to the streets in nearly 2,000 cities nationwide tomorrow, including many across South Florida, in response to President Donald Trump's multimillion-dollar military parade in Washington, D.C.

The military parade on Saturday, June 14, is in honor of the Army's 250th anniversary. The event, which also falls on Trump's 79th birthday and Flag Day, will feature 6,600 soldiers, battle tanks, and helicopters. Trump has been pushing for a military parade in the nation's capital since his first term.

Organizers say that the "No Kings" protests are part of a nationwide day of defiance to "reject authoritarianism" and "show what democracy looks like."

"On June 14 — Flag Day — President Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday," the website reads. "A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn't staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else."

The nationwide protests come as Trump deployed 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines to Los Angeles to quell protests against the ongoing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and the administration's crackdown on immigration. Since the beginning of Trump's second term, people have demonstrated in cities around the country to protest the administration, including the president's relationship with Tesla CEO Elon Musk and policies targeting the most vulnerable communities.

"They've defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services," the "No Kings" site reads. "The corruption has gone too far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings."
