No Kings Protests Set to Rabble-Rouse In SF and Nationwide Saturday During Trumps Military Parade

President Trump’s $45 million military parade on Saturday coincides with nearly 2,000 nationwide “No Kings” protests opposing his administration. The Bay Area will host several demonstrations, including two scheduled in San Francisco at Ocean Beach and Dolores Park. Organizers of the protests argue that the parade represents a waste of taxpayer funds, highlighting the lack of resources for social services like Social Security and public schools. They assert that the “No Kings” mobilization is a direct response to the extravagant event funded by taxpayers. In addition to the protests, some cities are celebrating Juneteenth and Pride, with organizers mindful of these events.

In Atlanta, the protest will conclude in time for Juneteenth festivities, while Boston's march collaborates with Boston Pride. The protests indicate a growing dissatisfaction with the Trump administration among local populations. With over 80 protests scheduled in the Bay Area alone, the demonstrations are expected to draw significant attention.
