Thousands gathered Saturday morning in cities around Central Florida and the state as part of what’s being called a “nationwide day of defiance” against the man in the Oval Office they say

The "No Kings day of action" is scheduled to take place nationwide Saturday, June 14, with more than 70 planned in Florida.

The largest "No Kings" protest on June 14 is expected to take place in Philadelphia as a nod to the country's history and to avoid accusations that protesters are opposing the Army parade in the nation's capital, organizers have said.

Turnout grew throughout the morning at rallies across Florida, where protesters expressed their opposition to what they see as President Donald Trump’s excessive accumulation of executive power.

"No Kings Day" protests are being held nationwide this weekend to protest President Donald Trump’s policies, and several have broken out across Central Florida.

Organizers of the "No Kings" demonstrations and local officials urged demonstrators to stay home from planned protests in Minnesota on Saturday after a lawmaker and her husband were fatally shot and another lawmaker and his wife were injured at their homes. Gov. Tim Walz called the incident a “politically motivated assassination.”
