No Kings protests fanned out across South Florida and the country Saturday as thousands of people demonstrated against President Donald Trump's policies on his 79th birthday and the day of a military parade in Washington.

Hundreds of chanting protesters, carrying signs with phrases like "Defend Democracy" and "No Kings since 1776," are rallying across South Florida Saturday, joining nationwide protests against Trump administration policies.

Helen Amburgey is an organizer with Pinellas chapter of the National Organization for Women, a group that’s helping to coordinate a local “No Kings” anti-Trump protest in St. Petersburg. She said the response to the Los Angeles protests has made her organization think more about safety plans and the guidance they give to protesters.
