The largest military parade in Washington in decades unfolded Saturday alongside hundreds of protests against it, and its chief organizer

The Michiana Alliance for Democracy brought the No Kings protest to South Bend as part of a nationwide effort to criticize Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C., on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army's founding and on Flag Day, as well as Trump's 79th birthday.

Meanwhile, "No Kings" protests were scheduled in all 50 states to counter Trump's celebration, in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Boise.
