Pennsylvania Avenue NW in D.C. will be taken over Saturday by an expected tens of thousands of protesters against President Donald Trump’s administration.
The event, running under a “No Kings” banner, calls for a reclamation of democracy without the need for “a king” like the president, who “thinks his rule is absolute.” It’s part of a nationwide series of events protesting against the current administration.
Participants will march along the National Mall and are encouraged to wear yellow as a “visible optimistic banner that carries the weight of Democratic struggle,” the organization’s website reads.
