Tens of thousands of people gathered across Arizona in parks, on street corners and at the state Capitol for a national day of protest against President Donald Trump, many in inflatable costumes that have become a symbol of resistance.

PHOENIX — One thing is certain: The “No Kings” movement is growing in Arizona. Protests across the state Saturday morning featured similar, if not larger, crowds compared to protests in June. And there were more locations.

Chandler drew in over 4,000 protestors during the "No Kings" protest in June, making October's event even bigger, East Valley Unite said.

Arizonans who gathered in Tempe and across the state Saturday to protest President Donald Trump said they have plenty of reasons to be concerned about his administration.

"No King" protests are underway across the Valley. 12News will have team coverage and updates throughout the day.

Arizona No Kings protests Trump weekend rallies expected to draw thousands across state over authoritarian actions

With the edge coming off the heat in Phoenix, the mass protests against the Trump administration are back. On Saturday, thousands of “No Kings” protests took place across the country, including several in the Valley and the rest of Arizona.

News reached out to 11 law enforcement agencies following last weekend's protest which tens of thousands of people attended.

As No Kings protests took place across the country, many protesters – including those in the Valley – worked to refute a growing, GOP-backed narrative that they are violent and anti-American.

Protesters turned out at roughly 2,700 rallies around the country to celebrate free speech and protest many of the Trump administration's actions.
