More than 2,000 acts have been summoned this Saturday in the 50 US states to coincide with a controversial military parade that President Donald Trump wanted to celebrate in Washington and protest against what the organizers qualify as “authoritarianism” by their government.
The parade, which coincides with Trump’s 79th birthday, has been criticized by the calls and other figures that consider that the president seeks to feed his ego with an event that is actually celebrated to honor the 250th anniversary of the United States Army Foundation.
The protest day has been baptized as ‘Day without Kings’, because the organizations behind them consider that the New Yorker is acting as one from its return to the White House, and also highlight that the New Yorker is using the army, which was founded to face precisely the British monarchy, to cover itself with glory.

“On June 14, Flag Day, President Trump wants tanks in the streets and a television exhibition of domination for his birthday. A show that aims to simulate strength. But true power is not exhibited in Washington. It rises everywhere,” says the call of the ‘day without kings. “
“From the apples of the cities to the small peoples, from the stairs of the courts to the community parks, we take measures to reject authoritarianism and show the world how democracy really is,” adds the message posted on the Internet.
No act has been convened in Washington Aigna to try to prevent what happens in the capital is “the center of gravity” and it is expected that the protest of Philadelphia, city 200 kilometers northeast of the capital and considered the cradle of the independence movement and American democracy, be one of the largest that will be held tomorrow.
“On June 14, we will introduce ourselves where he is not: to say no to the thrones, not the crowns, not the kings,” concludes the message of the organizers.
Both the military parade and the ‘Day without Kings’ also arrive after a tumultuous week in which the protests against the aggressive raids against migrants from the Trump government have provided protests and disturbances in Los Angeles since last June 6, and that have found support in other cities with hundreds of arrests throughout the country.
Trump has said that in Washington it will be held “in style” and has warned that “if there is any protest, when they leave they will face a very powerful force.”

The president also decided to mobilize thousands of national guard personnel to quell Los Angeles’s protests, a decision criticized by local authorities, who believe that the riots were under control and that Trump’s order only sought to increase tension.
A federal judge estimated yesterday that the president’s decision is illegal, although an appeals court left the order suspended hours later.
For his part, the Governor of the State of Texas, Greg Abbott, has followed Trump’s footsteps and on Thursday he announced that he has ordered the deployment of more than 5,000 members of the National Guard, along with more than 2,000 state police, to respond to the ongoing demonstrations and in preparation for those called for the ‘day without kings’.
