Oct. 18 (UPI) -- Several million people plan to participate Saturday in more than 2,500 "No Kings" rallies throughout the United States in what organizers are billing as the largest single-day protest in modern history.
The first "No Kings' events, in opposition to President Donald Trump, was on June 14, when there were more than 2,000 events drawing more than 5 million people. A military parade in Washington, D.C., also took place that day.
"I think what you'll see on No Kings II in October is a boisterous, joyful crowd expressing their political opinions in a peaceful, joyous way," Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin told USA Today. "People with dogs, people with kids, people with funny signs, music, dancing, laughing, community building, and a sense of collective effervescence that comes when you gather with a lot of people with a shared purpose."
The events are being run by a coalition of organizations that also include the American Civil Liberties Union.
