Local protesters in northeast Missouri say the No Kings rallies that took place nationwide over the weekend won't be the last of their pushback against the Trum

Protests are taking place in Missouri and nationwide on June 14 to counter President Trump's military parade, which coincides with his birthday.

Missouri mayors are reacting to Gov. Mike Kehoe's decision to sign an executive order on Thursday, activating the National Guard ahead of protests scheduled around the state and country this weekend.

Across St. Louis and other U.S. cities nationwide, demonstrators gathered Saturday for what organizers called a “day of defiance.” The timing was deliberate on President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday and the same day as a military parade in Washington DC, estimated to cost up to $45 million.

The “No Kings Day of Defiance” was organized nationwide at the same time a military parade will mark the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary in Washington, D.C. The date also coincides with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday as well as Flag Day.

Protests tied to the 'No Kings' Rally movement broke out across the country on Saturday, with demonstrators calling out the actions taken by President Donald Trump's administration. The rallies were also held in response to the Trump administration hosting an Army 250th anniversary parade in Washington,

Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.

The No Kings events come after days of protests following raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles, and Trump’s subsequent deployment of thousands of National Guard and U.S. Marines troops to “temporarily protect” ICE and other federal personnel, along with federal property.

No Kings protests are planned in Missouri on June 14, including in Columbia, Jefferson City, Fayette and Boonville. Governor Mike Kehoe activated the Missouri National Guard in response.
