The Houston demonstration is one of several planned in the region throughout the day and is expected to draw thousands of protesters.

According to organizers, the demonstrations have been purposefully scheduled to correspond with President Donald Trump’s military-themed parade set to take place in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. The parade will honor the 250th birthday of the U.

A large protest is being planned in Houston that is expected to counter a military parade for the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday this weekend.

Houston-area protesters are set to take to the streets on June 14 as part of the nationwide No Kings movement.

An estimated crowd of 15,000 gathered outside Houston City Hall on Saturday for a demonstration against President Donald Trump and his policies. Similar protests were held around the region.

Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.

The largely peaceful protests during the "No Kings Day" demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division.

Organizers intend for the protests to counter the Army’s 250th anniversary celebration — which Trump has ratcheted up to include a military parade.
