Anti-Trump "No Kings" protest in Cleveland: What to know

Flashback: Last October's protest at Willard Park drew approximately 15,000 people, according to organizers, including appearances by Mayor Justin Bibb and U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown (D-Cleveland).

• Members of grassroots organization Mobilize the Vote NEO have continued to hold similar protests each Wednesday, weather permitting, at East Ninth Street and Lakeside Avenue.

Zoom out: The Twin Cities, which have been at the center of the Trump administration's aggressive deportation campaign, will host the flagship No Kings rally.

What they're saying: Cleveland organizer Ellen Brown said in a statement these events "celebrate our democracy and our constitution."

• "[These rallies] demonstrate that We the People support an immediate end to foreign wars, ICE's terror tactics, the administration's unconstitutional power grab, covering up evidence of crimes against children and government for billionaires."
