In the Greater Boston area, thousands of “No Kings” marches and rallies are taking place, part of major demonstrations planned across the country.

“No Kings” organizers, including Mass 50501 and the Indivisible Mass Coalition, had encouraged the Boston protesters to join in with the Pride parade, to show “joyous defiance of anti-LGBTQIA+ tyranny of a fascist administration.”

I GOT TO SHOW UP LIKE IT’S BECOMING MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT. SO PEOPLE GOT TO SHOW UP AND SHOW UP. THEY DID. ALSO IN BOSTON, DEMONSTRATORS FOR THE NO. KING’S PROTEST, A RALLY AT CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY INCLUDING BOSTON.

Protests against President Donald Trump and his administration are planned nationwide Saturday, but in Boston, organizers say the “No Kings” demonstration will look a little different, since the day of action coincides with the city’s Pride parade and festival.

A rally will be held in Boston on Monday afternoon in response to ICE raids and protests in Los Angeles over the weekend.

The Boston protest was one of many across the country in support of David Huerta, president of the California SEIU, who was detained by federal officials in Los Angeles on Friday.

The statue was vandalized with red spray paint lettering and white paint on the granite base and the steps around the statue.

At the end of a week when President Donald Trump sent Marines and the California National Guard to Los Angeles to quell protests, Americans across the country turned out in huge numbers to protest Trump's attempts to expand his power.

The rallies were among hundreds of "No Kings" protests held throughout the United States, timed to coincide with a military parade celebrating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C. Saturday was also Trump's 79th birthday.

Thousands of people protested on June 15 in cities across the country against President Donald Trump’s policies.
