June 14 marks ‘No Kings’ protests in Illinois: Locations, times, what you need to know

“No Kings” protests are scheduled throughout northern Illinois on June 14, coinciding with a military parade in Washington D.C. for the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary. It’s also the same day as President Donald Trump’s birthday.

The “No Kings” protests, organized by Indivisible, represent a nationwide response rejecting authoritarianism and President Trump’s military parade, which is estimated to cost $25-$45 million. The movement says it emphasizes nonviolent activism, aiming to challenge symbols of power and ego with rallies across the country.

More information is available on the No Kings website.
