As President Donald Trump prepared to host a military parade in Washington to mark the 250th anniversary of the Army and his 79th birthday, thousands of Atlanta residents took to the streets for ‘No Kings’ protests across the Atlanta metro area.

Hundreds rally in Atlanta's Liberty Plaza for 'No Kings' to protest Trump's policies. Chants of 'Immigrants are welcome here' echoed loudly.

Hundreds are expected to protest across metro Atlanta Saturday as Trump celebrates his 79th birthday and the Army turns 250.

"No Kings" protests against President Donald Trump’s policies are taking place across metro Atlanta and in nearly 2,000 other U.S. cities as a military parade rolls in Washington for the Army’s 250th anniversary – which is also Flag Day and Trump’s birthday.

No Kings” demonstrations are underway in hundreds of cities across the U.S. in protest of what organizers describe as President Donald Trump’s authoritarian policies involving recent immigration raids.

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.
