As a military parade rolls through Washington, DC, on Saturday – President Donald Trump’s birthday – millions of Americans are expected to protest in what organizers predict will be the strongest display of opposition to Trump’s administration since he took office in January.
Philadelphia will be the site of a “flagship protest” in a nationwide movement opposing President Donald Trump’s Administration on the same day as a major military parade in Washington. The demonstration is expected to disrupt traffic throughout the day.
Thousands of people are expected to pack the parkway for the “No Kings” protest in less than 24 hours. Some businesses have decided to close in anticipation of the thousands of protesters expected. The New Balance store at 16th and Walnut confirms they boarded up windows as a precaution and will be closed on Saturday.
