Wisconsinites in more than 50 towns and cities are expected to take to the streets Saturday, June 14, as part of what organizers say will be the largest nationwide protest yet against President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda.

More than 100 pro-democracy advocacy groups are working together to organize “No Kings” protests across the country, with actions planned in more than 1,500 cities, according to its website. Spearheading the effort is the national organizing group, 50501 — short for “50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement.”

The group’s local chapter, 50501 Milwaukee, also helped organize an anti-Trump protest in downtown Milwaukee on June 10. That followed local reports of federal arrests and the Trump administration’s crackdown against demonstrations in Los Angeles. Hundreds gathered in Cathedral Square Park, before marching to Milwaukee’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices.

The protests take their name from the idea that in the United States, we don’t have kings — a reference to Trump’s own language about himself and his perception of virtually unchecked power.

Saturday’s protest in Milwaukee will be held in Cathedral Square Park. It coincides with Trump’s military parade — expected to cost upwards of $30 million — to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army and his own birthday.

Organizers said scheduling the protests for the same day as the parade was deliberate.

“President Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday,” No Kings organizers wrote. “A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.”

In Madison, a protest is scheduled from 2 to 5 p.m. at Library Mall, 715 State St.

In the Milwaukee area, No Kings protests will be held in the following places:

• Milwaukee: Noon to 2 p.m. in Cathedral Square Park, 520 E. Wells St. This will likely be the largest protest in the greater Milwaukee area.
• Shorewood: 2 to 3:30 p.m. at Oak Leaf Trail Bridge & Capitol Drive.
• Greenfield: 10 to 11 a.m., South 76th Street & West Layton Avenue.
• Brookfield: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. 19400 W. Bluemound Rd.
• Waukesha: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., 321 Wisconsin Ave.
