Seattle-area rallies will push back on Trump's June 14 parade
Protestors will demonstrate in parks and squares nationwide on June 14 in what organizers expect will be the largest single-day anti-President Trump rally since the start of the administration.
Why it matters: The widespread movement will run counter to Trump's multimillion dollar military parade in Washington, D.C.
"No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance," organizers wrote. "From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism."
By the numbers: More than 100 pro-democracy advocacy groups are partnering to organize the No Kings events.
Millions of people are expected to protest in more than 1,500 cities across all 50 states and commonwealths, organizers said.
Zoom in: In Seattle, counterprotests are scheduled from noon to 3pm Saturday in Red Square on the University of Washington campus, as well as at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill.
More counterprotests are planned in cities across the Seattle metro area, including in Shoreline, Tacoma, Renton, and Kirkland, as well as in other Washington cities, such as Kennewick, Vancouver and Spokane.
