DEMONSTRATORS GATHERED in parks and plazas in the Bay Area and across the U.S. on Saturday to protest against President Donald Trump.
The “No Kings” rallies were organized in nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, including cities, towns, and community spaces.
These protests followed recent unrest over federal immigration raids and Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles, where tensions escalated with protesters blocking a freeway and setting vehicles on fire.
