Several local protests planned for Saturday will contribute to what organizers expect will be the largest single-day anti-President Trump rally since the start of his second administration.
Why it matters: The nationwide movement will run counter to Trump's multimillion dollar military parade in D.C.
"No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance," organizers wrote. "From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism."
By the numbers: Millions of people are estimated to protest in more than 1,800rallies across all 50 states and commonwealths including Puerto Rico, organizers said.
Zoom in: More than a dozen events are planned in the Twin Cities, including a scheduled march from St. Paul College to the Minnesota Capitol for a rally.
Context: Trump is holding a military parade on Saturday, which is his 79th birthday and the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary.
The Army predicts it will spend $25 million to $45 million on the plan, an estimate that doesn't include Secret Service or law enforcement.
