Waving American flags and carrying homemade signs, thousands of people took part in a “No Kings Day” protest Saturday at the Idaho State Capitol.

Around 2,000 protests were planned on Saturday in opposition to President Donald Trump. Large crowds turned out in cities like Portland, Denver, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles – and in smaller communities in traditionally conservative areas.

Hours after the Boise rally brought thousands to the Idaho State Capitol, Nampa’s own “No Kings” rally brought hundreds of the city’s residents to Nampa City Hall.

Organizers of "No Kings" protests have scheduled demonstrations in more than a dozen cities across the Gem State to coincide with what they describe as an expensive display of presidential power. The coordinated protests target what organizers call government overreach under the Trump administration.

Organizers are calling for Americans to attend demonstrations across the country to protest President Trump on his 79th birthday.

Events held in big cities, small towns and everything in between served as counterpoint to military parade in Washington coinciding with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.
