People gathered by the thousands across cities in the U.S. on June 14 to protest actions of the Trump administration. Organizers are expecting a bigger turnout for the second wave of protests this weekend, driven by the ongoing shutdown of the federal government and immigration crackdowns.

Protesters are gathering in Kansas City’s Mill Creek Park and elsewhere in the metro for the second wave of No Kings rallies, part of a national movement to protest the actions of the Trump administration.

Beverly Harvey, founder of Indivisible Kansas City, said the movement wants to mobilize people to save democracy.

“We're not going to bow down to a dictator,” Harvey said. “We're going to rise up. We're going to grow bigger and stronger until this dictatorship is gone.”
