The big picture: The latest protests come 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 and the District as of Monday, organizers said.
Participating groups include the American Civil Liberties Union, American Federation of Teachers, 50501, Human Rights Campaign, Indivisible and MoveOn.
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.
Zoom in: D.C. demonstrations kick off today with a rally organized by 50501 DC and Eagle Group Indivisible at the Lincoln Memorial from 3-7pm.
Expect speeches, live music, a DJ and political comedy.
Then on Saturday, the group is organizing a protest starting at 14th and U Streets at 9:30am. There's also a major demonstration planned near the National Mall.
