Tens of thousands of Missourians joined in Saturday's "No Kings Day" protests, including thousands here in Kansas City.

While President Donald Trump attended a military parade he ordered on his birthday to recognize the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C., thousands of people in the Kansas City metro area flexed their First Amendment right Saturday to voice their opposition to polices of the Trump administration during the “No Kings” national day of defiance.

The same day, celebrants in Washington, D.C., will have a military parade to mark the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday.

A nationwide movement, these protests are set to coincide with a Flag Day military-style parade in Washington, D.C.

There are 15 protests planned throughout Kansas on June 14 to counter a military parade President Donald Trump will attend.

Hundreds of protesters are expected at rallies in the Kansas City region, including several in Johnson County, as part of a nationwide day of action against the Trump administration's policies.

Thousands gathered in Daley Plaza and in suburban events in protests timed to coincide with a military parade in Washington celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.

In Kansas City, a mass of protestors gathered at the Country Club Plaza. People from all walks of life shared a common goal to demonstrate their First Amendment right.
