Protestors are taking to the streets and community hubs nationwide on June 14 in what organizers expect will be the largest single-day anti-President Trump rally since the start of the administration. Why it matters: The widespread movement will run counter to Trump’s multimillion dollar military parade in D.C. What they’re saying: “Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday,” the No Kings website said. By the numbers: Millions of people are estimated to protest in more than 1,500 cities across all 50 states and commonwealths, organizers said. Context: Trump proposed a military parade on his 79th birthday and the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary. Yes, but: There will be no organized protest in Washington, D.C. Catch up quick: Within a month earlier this year, anti-Trump activists rallied during the Hands Off!, 50501 and May Day protests. With June 14 fast approaching, President Trump’s proposed military parade is yet to be finalized, but permit applications give us a glimpse into the spectacle that’s expected to cost tens of millions of dollars. Why it matters: The event would be on the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary and Trump’s 79th birthday — achieving his long-held desire to march a parade of soldiers through the capital. Tickets are free. You can register for up to two per mobile number.

Why it matters: D.C.’s first military parade since the Gulf War will end with Army parachuters touching down to present President Trump with an American flag on his 79th birthday, officials told reporters Wednesday at the Pentagon.
