Memphians gathered in the Bluff City on Saturday, June 14, at Poplar and Highland for a protest organized by Indivisible Tennessee.

Protesters in Memphis and across the country rallied against President Trump on Saturday afternoon, joining the nationwide “No Kings” demonstration.

The protests are part of a nationwide demonstration against President Donald Trump. The flagship “No Kings” march and rally are planned in Philadelphia, but no events are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., where amilitary parade will take place for Trump’s birthday.

Memphians gathered Saturday, June 14, as part of the nationwide “No Kings” protests, aimed at opposing what organizers describe as increasing authoritarianism and government overreach. Protesters began lining up at Highland and Poplar around 11 a.m., drawing what appeared to be hundreds of participants.

Organizers are calling for Americans to attend demonstrations across the country to protest President Trump on his 79th birthday.

Coordinated "No Kings" protests are happening from coast to coast, part of a "national day of peaceful protest" against the Trump administration, expected to draw millions. Protesters in some areas braved wet weather to raise signs and chant slogans supporting the rights of immigrants and criticizing what they see as Trump's power grab.
