PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cities large and small were preparing for major demonstrations Saturday across the U.S. against President Donald Trump, as officials urge calm, National Guard troops mobilize and Trump attends a military parade in Washington to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary.

The "No Kings" Chicago protest Saturday in Daley Plaza is one of the anchor events for a national anti-Trump movement. It is one of more than 1,800 protests being held nationwide in response to the Trump military parade.

Police in Sonoma and Napa counties are preparing as North Bay protesters join a nationwide wave of No Kings Day rallies.

The "No Kings National Day of Mobilizations" is scheduled to take place nationwide Saturday, June 14, with over 30 planned in Vermont.

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.

Protesters in hundreds of big cities and small towns in the U.S. — except for Washington, D.C. — will take part in the No Kings rallies on Saturday. On the same day, the U.S. capital is hosting a military parade to mark the U.

The organizers of this weekend's upcoming "No Kings" protests have issued a video reminding people about the event. The video, released on the No Kings website, reminds those planning to attend of details and calls on people to join the protests.

As the military presence ramped up in Los Angeles, communities are preparing for the largest protests against Trump since he took office.
