No Kings protest organizers expect millions to gather across the nation on Saturday in an event Republican lawmakers decry as "a hate America rally."
Why it matters: The latest round of protests comes amid growing frustration about the ongoing government shutdown and widespread opposition to President Trump's military crackdown on Democratic-led cities across America.
State of play: More than 2,500 events are planned across all 50 states as of Monday, organizers said.
Zoom in: There will be a No Kings event at the Boulder Bandshell, 1212 Canyon Blvd., starting at 3:30pm Saturday, according to an event page.
- That will be followed by a "visibility honk and wave" event at Broadway and Canyon Boulevard.
- "The president thinks his rule is absolute," the local event organizers wrote. "But in America, we don't have kings, and we won't back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty."
The other side: The recurring movement against the Trump administration has garnered sharp criticism from Republican lawmakers who say Democrats are protesting as a ploy during the government shutdown.
