Left-wing groups plan events to counter Army’s 250th DC birthday celebration

Published June 11, 2025 4:46pm ET



As an estimated 200,000 people are expected to attend Saturday night’s parade in honor of the Army’s 250th birthday, anti-Trump protests are also being planned around the Washington, D.C., metro area and nationwide.

Over 1500 “No Kings” demonstrations are being scheduled to fight against “corruption” and “kings.” Organizers, which include the ACLU, the American Federation of Teachers, Public Citizen, and Indivisible, believe the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles will fuel more people to participate. They are also upset that the parade is happening on President Donald Trump‘s birthday.
