BOSTON (WHDH) - The annual Boston Pride Parade, which drew hundreds of thousands of people to the city on Saturday, coincided with a ‘No Kings’ demonstration, one of many being held nationwide by opponents of President Trump’s agenda, as a massive military parade commemorating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army is being staged Saturday in Washington, D.C.
More than 3,000 people representing 300 local groups marched in the city’s Pride Parade. This year’s theme is “Here to Stay.” The groups represented in the march did not include the ‘No Kings’ contingent, which had a group marching in the back of the parade and registered people who would like to join them and march for free.
The event in D.C. is expected to include about 6,600 soldiers, 50 helicopters and 60-ton M1 Abrams battle tanks, as well as possibly 200,000 attendees and heightened security to match.
Opponents of the president’s agenda are rallying in hundreds of cities nationwide at “No Kings” protests following days of nationwide demonstrations against federal immigration raids, including in Los Angeles, where Trump deployed the National Guard and U.S. Marines against the wishes of California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
