'No Kings' protests against Trump to take place across Bay Area on Saturday
Briefly

On Saturday, protests across the Bay Area will align with over 1,800 nationwide demonstrations responding to President Trump’s policies. With coalition support from over 190 organizations, the 'No Kings' movement criticizes the taxpayer-funded military parade coinciding with Trump’s birthday. Organizers argue the event highlights governmental misallocation of resources while vital social services face budget cuts. The Bay Area will host over 80 protests in cities such as San Francisco and Oakland, continuing a trend of frequent grassroots activism since Trump's inauguration in January.
The 'No Kings' mobilization is a direct response to Donald Trump's self-aggrandizing $100 million military parade and birthday celebration, an event funded by taxpayers while millions are told there's no money for Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid, or public schools.
Over 190 organizations from across the country formed a coalition called No Kings to promote the events.
Protests will take place across the Bay Area on Saturday as part of what is expected to be over 1,800 nationwide demonstrations in response to the policies of President Donald Trump's second administration.
Since Trump's inauguration in January, protests have been organized almost weekly across the country by grassroots groups.
