Following a week of protests across the country, nearly a dozen rallies are planned for the area this weekend, including one in downtown Raleigh.

The Houston demonstration is one of several planned in the region throughout the day and is expected to draw thousands of protesters.

Rallies are expected throughout metro Detroit and dozens of other cities in the state from Midland to Muskegon and Milan to Marquette.

Thousands gathered in Daley Plaza and in suburban events in protests timed to coincide with a military parade in Washington celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.

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.

Millions marched in cities and towns across the U.S. in "No Kings" protests to rally against the Trump administration.
