Demonstrators plan to gather in downtown Grand Rapids on Saturday as part of the nationwide “No Kings” movement. The Grand Rapids Police Department said it's prepared for the large crowds and plans to keep both demonstrators and the public safe.

Protests organized by the "No Kings" Movement are scheduled to take place Saturday, June 14th across the U.S., including at Rosa Parks Circle in Grand Rapids.

More than 1600 protests and rallies are planned throughout the country and world on Saturday as a part of the “No Kings” movement.

Thousands of Michigan residents attended protests in Grand Rapids, Charlevoix, Muskegon, Ferndale, Petoskey, and more than 50 other Michigan cities for No Kings protests, Saturday, June 14. No Kings was a nationwide day of defiance against President Donald Trump and his administration.

The Lansing rally was scheduled for noon to 6 p.m. at the Michigan Capitol, with speeches, conversations with politicians, games, and more.

Will protests in Los Angeles set the stage for more clashes Saturday as activists in hundreds of cities nationwide, including metro Detroit, organize?

Rain is expected June 13-15, so Father's Day plans may have to be indoors. No Kings day events also could be impacted statewide.

The development will include affordable housing units, workspaces, retail spaces and a rentable performing arts venue for events.
