Philadelphia was chosen in part because it is where the Second Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence.

Philadelphia will be the site of a “flagship protest” in a nationwide movement opposing President Donald Trump’s Administration on the same day as a major military parade in Washington. The demonstration is expected to disrupt traffic throughout the day.

Organizers are calling for Americans to attend demonstrations across the country to protest President Trump on his 79th birthday.

In a city known as the cradle of American democracy, an impassioned, hourslong protest filled the streets for a ‘No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance.’
