Philadelphia was chosen in part because it is where the Second Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence.

In a city known as the cradle of American democracy, an impassioned, hourslong protest filled the streets for a ‘No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance.’

The largest "No Kings" protest on June 14 is expected to take place in Philadelphia as a nod to the country's history and to avoid accusations that protesters are opposing the Army parade in the nation's capital, organizers have said.

At least one demonstration, about 70 miles from Washington, D.C., in Northern Virginia, was met with violence when a man intentionally drove an SUV through a crowd of departing protesters, striking at least one person,

The parade, honoring the Army’s long-planned 250th anniversary celebration and coinciding with Trump’s 79th birthday, is set to step off from the Lincoln Memorial under the threat of stormy weather in Washington and protests around the country tied to a turbulent week of immigration enforcement that has involved military deployment in Los Angeles.

A flagship "No Kings" march and rally are planned in Philadelphia, but no events are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place on Trump's 79th birthday. Organizers of the protests say they want to take attention away from the parade.

Philadelphia will be the site of a “flagship protest” in a nationwide movement opposing President Donald Trump’s Administration on the same day as a major military parade in Washington. The demonstration is expected to disrupt traffic throughout the day.

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.
