Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Arlington and other North Texas cities.

That’s part of why George Atkinson, a former high school government teacher, felt compelled to join a protest in downtown Houston on Saturday. The 89-year-old affixed a sign to his walker that read, “The clothes have no emperor! He’s all hat and no cattle!”

Organizers across the country named the mobilization “No Kings.” The rallies were organized in opposition to a military parade in Washington, D.C. on the president’s 79th birthday Saturday. The parade is happening on Flag Day, which also marks the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary this year.

No Kings” organizers described the events as a “nationwide day of defiance” against President Donald Trump and authoritarianism.

Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco and San Rafael were just two of the locations where protesters gathered for the "No Kings" rallies on June 14. Website: YouTube: Facebook: Instagram: Twitter:
