Organizers call the mass protests nationwide a "day of defiance" in opposition to Trump administration policies.
As tanks and active-duty soldiers prepared to march through D.C. for the country's first military parade in over 30 years, demonstrators filled the streets of Maine to reject what they called President Donald Trump's abuse of authority and attempts to erode democracy.
Protesters gathered at Lincoln Park, voicing their opposition to President Donald Trump's administration's policies and decisions since his return to office this year. "We are concerned about the loss of democracy, in the Constitution, in the country," local Curtis Rich said.
Thousands of Mainers in more than three dozen cities and towns took to the streets Saturday, June 14, as part of a national day of protest against federal immigration raids, cuts to funding for critical programs and growing executive overreach.
Hundreds of "No Kings" protests are planned across the country on the same day as Trump's military parade in Washington, D.C.
The No Kings Day of Action was a series of protests in all 50 states organized by the social movement organization Indivisible.
