The “No Kings” theme was orchestrated by the 50501 Movement, a national movement made up of everyday Americans who stand for democracy and against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement.

Will protests in Los Angeles set the stage for more clashes Saturday as activists in hundreds of cities nationwide, including metro Detroit, organize?

Authorities are monitoring planned protests in North Texas this weekend, including one called "No Kings" scheduled for Saturday outside Dallas City Hall. The protest is described by organizers as a day of action against President Trump’s immigration policies.
