Rallies planned in thousands of US cities for protest against Trump

(Reuters/Al Arabiya) Thousands of rallies are expected across the US on Saturday in the latest “No Kings” protest against the policies of President Donald Trump and his administration. Organizers say that more than 3,200 events are planned in all 50 states for what they hope could be the largest single-day nonviolent protest in US history. The two previous No Kings events attracted millions of participants. Flagship rallies will take place in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Minnesota’s Twin Cities, but two-thirds of participants are expected from outside major city centers, a nearly 40 percent jump for smaller communities from the movement’s first mobilization last June, organizers said. – Rallies planned in thousands of US cities for protest against Trump
