Memphians gathered Saturday, June 14, as part of the nationwide “No Kings” protests, aimed at opposing what organizers describe as increasing authoritarianism and government overreach. Protesters began lining up at Highland and Poplar around 11 a.m., drawing what appeared to be hundreds of participants.

The protests are part of a nationwide demonstration against President Donald Trump. The flagship “No Kings” march and rally are planned in Philadelphia, but no events are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., where amilitary parade will take place for Trump’s birthday.
