SEATTLE - Major anti-President Trump protests are being held this Saturday across the U.S., including in Seattle and around Washington. Called "NO KINGS," local demonstrations are taking aim at "increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption" they assert have been perpetrated by the Trump administration.

A national day of action is scheduled for Saturday, June 14 — President Trump's birthday — and will run counter to Trump's military parade planned in Washington, D.C. "In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies," reads a statement from NO KINGS organizers. "We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies." In Seattle, two separate protests are planned for 12:00–3:00 p.m.

One will be at University of Washington's Red Square, the other at Cal Anderson Park in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
