'No Kings' protests set to hit Cleveland, Northeast Ohio and the nation – The Land
Amid growing turmoil in Los Angeles, a parade planned for President Donald Trump’s birthday, and a sense of political unease — Clevelanders and Northeast Ohioans are planning protests around the region on Saturday.
Opponents of Trump’s administration are set to rally in hundreds of cities on Saturday during the military parade in Washington to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary, which coincides with Trump’s birthday.
More than 2,000 protests are planned nationwide as part of the No Kings Day of Defiance protest movement, including events in Cleveland, Parma and Chagrin Falls. The “No Kings” protests are set to take place to counter what organizers say are Trump’s plans to feed his ego on his 79th birthday and Flag Day. “No Kings” will follow several days of nationwide protests against federal immigration raids including in Los Angeles, where Trump’s deployment of the National Guard further agitated his opponents.

“The Trump administration is lurching towards authoritarianism. On June 14, Trump is celebrating himself with a military parade,” said Thomas Zipp, a local oragnizer, in an email to The Land. “This is behavior you’d expect from a dictator. In order to mock and ridicule him “No Kings” was chosen as a theme. We, along with over 2,000 other locations around the country, will peacefully celebrate our democracy (it’s Flag Day). The national Indivisible organizers are discouraging any protests at the Army parade in DC. Instead, we are demonstrating our strength and displeasure as a people by planning events nationwide.”
A list of the local protests can be found on Mobilize.us website.
Why is it called ‘No Kings’?
The “No Kings” theme was orchestrated by the 50501 Movement, a national movement made up of everyday Americans who stand for democracy and against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement.
Protests earlier this year have denounced Trump and billionaire adviser Elon Musk, the now former leader of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, a government organization designed to slash federal spending. Protesters have called for Trump to be “dethroned” as they compare his actions to that of a king and not a democratically elected president.
“They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services,” the group says on its website, referring to the Trump administration and its policies. “They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.”Why are they protesting on Saturday?
The No Kings Day of Defiance has been organized to reject authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics and the militarization of the country’s democracy, according to a statement by organizers.
Organizers intend for the protests to counter the Army’s 250th anniversary celebration — which Trump has ratcheted up to include an expensive, lavish military parade. The event will feature hundreds of military vehicles and aircraft and thousands of soldiers. It also happens to be his 79th birthday and Flag Day.
“The flag doesn’t belong to President Trump. It belongs to us,” the “No Kings” website says. “On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t — to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings.”
Where will the protests happen?
Protests in nearly 2,000 locations are scheduled around the country, from city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, organizers said.
No protests are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., however, where the military parade will be held. The group says it will “make action everywhere else the story of America that day.”
“No Kings” plans instead to hold a flagship march and rally in Philadelphia to draw a clear contrast between its people-powered movement and what organizers described on their website as the “costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade” in Washington.
What is planned at the ‘No Kings’ protests?
People of all ages are expected to come together in the protest locations for speeches, marching, carrying signs and waving American flags, organizers said in a call Wednesday.
On the group’s website, it says a core principle behind all “No Kings” events is a commitment to nonviolent action, and participants are expected to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation.
No weapons of any kind should be taken to “No Kings” events, according to the website.
How many people are expected to participate?
The No Kings Day of Defiance is expected to be the largest single-day mobilization since Trump returned to office, organizers said. Organizers said they are preparing for millions of people to take to the streets across all 50 states and commonwealths.

Then comes Cleveland, where Playhouse Square’s KeyBank State Theatre will host an intimate, phone-free performance. Fans will have electronics secured in Yondr pouches to ensure a fully immersive concert experience. The embedded nostalgia of the theater pairs perfectly with Dylan’s timeless classics like “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Like a Rolling Stone.”

By choosing acoustically superior venues throughout Ohio, Dylan seems to be deliberately crafting a more personal connection with audiences, transforming each stop into a storytelling event rather than just another headlining show.

US Marshals arrest 2 men accused of killing Maple Heights man in robbery outside Angie’s Soul Café
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The U.S. Marshals confirmed the two suspects wanted by the Cleveland Division of Police for the murder of a Maple Heights man robbed outside Angie’s Soul Café in June have been arrested.
Members of the U.S. Marshals’ Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force arrested 20-year-old Dominick Newby and 19-year-old Jayshawn Collins early Wednesday morning without incident, USMS stated.
They were found in the 1100 block of East 58th Street in Cleveland, USMS said.
Cleveland police said officers rushed to the 700 block of Carnegie Avenue at 2:30 p.m. on June 17 for a reported robbery outside Angie’s Soul Café.
Officers then learned the victim was shot in the parking lot during a robbery, according to police.
He was taken to University Hospitals where he died.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner identified him as 34-year-old Patrick Carner of Maple Heights.
Restaurant staff told 19 News the victim was a customer who had come to purchase food and was shot while getting in a car.
A representative from the restaurant released the below statement on June 17:
19 News confirmed through officials that Carner was the man sentenced in connection to the death of his pregnant ex-girlfriend.
Vonnashia Akins died after falling out of a moving car on I-90 in downtown Cleveland during rush hour back in October 2019.
Carner was behind the wheel, and police said he left the scene.
He was sentenced to a total of four years for obstruction of official business and tampering with evidence.
Newby and Collins were identified as suspects in this murder late this summer, USMS said, and the NOVFTF recently started searching for both of them.
“This shooting left one person dead and could have been significantly worse as the shooting took place outside of a busy restaurant in the middle of the day,” U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott stated. “The community is a safer place with these two violent individuals off the streets and behind bars.”
Anyone with information on a wanted fugitive can call the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force at 1-866-4WANTED (1-866-492-6833), or you send a tip online.
Reward money is available for tips leading to the arrest and conviction of a wanted fugitive, and tipsters can stay anonymous.
