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.

Protesters in Georgia are planning a day of defiance against Trump, with events in Atlanta and other cities nationwide.

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

That’s part of why George Atkinson, a former high school government teacher, felt compelled to join a protest in downtown Houston on Saturday. The 89-year-old affixed a sign to his walker that read, “The clothes have no emperor! He’s all hat and no cattle!”

Georgia's leaders stress order ahead of planned protests, distinguishing between peaceful assembly and violence.

A 39-year-old man died after being shot during a Salt Lake City "No Kings" protest where a 24-year-old suspect with a rifle was arrested.

Metro Atlanta and numerous towns in the state of Georgia joined cities, towns and communities across the nation on June 14 for a day of protests and demonstrations.
