Ahead of events in the five boroughs, the NYPD announced the deployment of officers trained in de-escalation to monitor Saturday's protesters.
“No Kings” day was organized in response to a military parade and birthday celebration set on Flag Day this Saturday, which also coincides with President Donald Trump’s birthday, according to the event website.
The nationwide demonstration was meant to protest the Trump administration’s federal funding cuts to Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid and education as well as the ramped-up deportation efforts.
More than 1,500 cities and small towns were expected to host rallies and marches on “No Kings” day however the movement holds the core principle of nonviolent action.
Trump responded to the planned counterprotests on Thursday, saying, “I don’t feel like a king, I have to go through hell to get stuff approved.”
