Many protesters stayed long after the rally was scheduled to end in Kansas City, chanting and banging drums at Mill Creek Park.

People gathered by the hundreds in cities across the U.S. on Saturday as part of a nationwide day of protest to coincide with a military parade in Washington celebrating 250 years of the United States Army.

Hours later, downtown Wichita was filled with protesters rallying against the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. For many like Montanez, things have reached a point that pushed them to protest for the first time.
