While President Donald Trump attended a military parade he ordered on his birthday to recognize the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C., thousands of people in the Kansas City metro area flexed their First Amendment right Saturday to voice their opposition to polices of the Trump administration during the “No Kings” national day of defiance.

On Saturday, people in the Kansas City area will gather for "No Kings Day," a day of protest against President Donald Trump.

Tens of thousands of Missourians joined in Saturday's "No Kings Day" protests, including thousands here in Kansas City.

A nationwide movement, these protests are set to coincide with a Flag Day military-style parade in Washington, D.C.

The same day, celebrants in Washington, D.C., will have a military parade to mark the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday.

In Kansas City, a mass of protestors gathered at the Country Club Plaza. People from all walks of life shared a common goal to demonstrate their First Amendment right.
