The rallies counter a large military parade in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary and Flag Day.

Thousands of residents from across metro Atlanta mobilized on Saturday morning for the “No Kings” rallies against the actions of the Trump administration. Rallies in Downtown Atlanta, Tucker and Decatur were just three of thousands happening across the United States and abroad.

Hundreds rally in Atlanta's Liberty Plaza for 'No Kings' to protest Trump's policies. Chants of 'Immigrants are welcome here' echoed loudly.

Channel 2 Action News has confirmed nearly two dozen protests scheduled across metro Atlanta and north Georgia.

The parade, honoring the Army’s long-planned 250th anniversary celebration and coinciding with Trump’s 79th birthday, is set to step off from the Lincoln Memorial under the threat of stormy weather in Washington and protests around the country tied to a turbulent week of immigration enforcement that has involved military deployment in Los Angeles.

Protesters in Georgia are planning a day of defiance against Trump, with events in Atlanta and other cities nationwide.

Opponents of President Donald Trump's administration started coming out the streets to rally in hundreds of cities Saturday.

More than 5,000 people are expected to crowd into Liberty Plaza on Saturday morning as part of the demonstration.
