Protesting the direction of the country under President Donald Trump, and what organizers call his authoritarian policies, millions of people gathered in communities across the U.S. for “No Kings” demonstrations.

The main Miami gathering takes place downtown from 10 am to 1 pm at the Torch of Friendship outside Bayfront Park (301 Biscayne Boulevard), a familiar stage for past protests that have drawn thousands of sign-waving locals under the palms. Nearby Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and West Palm Beach will also see companion events throughout the day.

Walk away from the agitator,” organizers told the crowd using megaphones. “Please do not engage with any outside agitators.”

"No Kings" protests against President Trump and his administration are planned in 2,500 locations nationwide, including more than 80 in Florida.
