Local protests will be held in the mid-Hudson Valley on the same day as many others across the country. On June 14, dubbed "No Kings Day" by organizers, protests will be held in Rhinebeck and Newburgh.
Crowds of demonstrators gathered around the country on Saturday, protesting what they called President Trump’s overreach.
The protests were in response to President Donald Trump's plan to hold a military parade Saturday in conjunction with the U.S. Army's 250th birthday
The procession, with more than 6,000 soldiers and 128 Army tanks, was one Trump tried to make happen in his first term.
Indivisible cofounder and protest organizer Ezra Levin explained ahead of Saturday that the movement is about reclaiming U.S. patriotism from the Republican Party and to denounce what he called Trump's authoritarian actions.
