  • Organizers plan 2,500+ 'No Kings' protests nationwide; seven in Sacramento County
  • Protesters decry executive overreach, Guard deployments, immigrant attacks
  • Sacramento region rallies span 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; more events in foothill communities

“No Kings Day” demonstrations returned to the streets Saturday, with more than 2,500 rallies planned across the country and several events including a march taking place in the capital region.

The coordinated day of action comes months after nationwide protests on June 14, when more than five million people nationwide participated, including an estimated 5,000 demonstrators at the California state Capitol. That event coincided with a military parade in Washington, D.C., celebrating the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump’s birthday.

This one takes place against the backdrop of a federal government shutdown and what organizers say is overreach by the White House. Organizers say they are protesting authoritarian acts such as the deployment of the National Guard in U.S. cities, the targeting of immigrants for deportation and attacks on education, health care and environmental protections.
