DENVER (KDVR/The Hill) -- Organizers with the "No Kings" movement are planning some 1,500 demonstrations across the country to protest the upcoming military parade Saturday, with gatherings planned in several Colorado areas.

Protest organizers have framed the move as a rejection of the military parade, which will mark the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army as well as the 79th birthday of President Trump. Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place, is not among the cities where demonstrations are planned.

The No Kings group has organized nationwide protests at several points already this year, including Presidents Day and the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution in April.

Agencies across the state are aware of the demonstration plans.

Organizers in Arvada told FOX31 that they have been in contact with the city and local law enforcement, and they expect a peaceful event focused on listening, community-building, and civic expression.

The town of Parker requested that the event there be canceled, saying there is not enough resources to accommodate with the Parker Days Festival this weekend. Despite this, organizers told FOX31 that the Parker demonstrations will go on.

'No Kings' protests across U.S.

Protests are planned in cities across the nation; however, Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place, is not among the cities where demonstrations are planned.

“Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption,” organizers wrote.

Protest organizers encouraged those in D.C. to join the flagship march in Philadelphia or one of the local protests in Virginia or Maryland. Organizers are also marketing DC Joy Day starting at 3 p.m. EDT in Anacostia Park, which will have music, grilling, activities for children and a grocery distribution.

The planned protests come after Trump lashed out at potential protesters at an Oval Office appearance Tuesday, saying they would be met with “very big force.”

The No Kings protests are being coordinated by a wide coalition of progressive groups, although anyone can sign up to host their own event with the movement. Partners include the American Federation of Teachers, Public Citizen and Indivisible.

The demonstrations Saturday come as smaller pockets of protests countering Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) action pop up across the country, including in New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C.

In Los Angeles, there have been protests initially sparked by a series of ICE raids in the city that started last Friday. The protests have also triggered a political standoff between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Trump, who called in National Guard troops and active-duty Marines to help quell the demonstrations.

The anti-ICE protests have drawn a strident response from Trump, who called protesters “animals” and a “foreign enemy” in a speech Tuesday.

In Washington, D.C., organizers separate from No Kings canceled a protest of a parade that they hoped would attract up to 20,000 people, Axios reported. The reason for the cancellation is unclear.
