Protests took place in more than 1,500 cities on the same day that the president's birthday military parade, costing tens of millions of dollars, took place.

Around 2,000 protests were planned on Saturday in opposition to President Donald Trump. Large crowds turned out in cities like Portland, Denver, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles – and in smaller communities in traditionally conservative areas.

Organizers are calling for Americans to attend demonstrations across the country to protest President Trump on his 79th birthday.

Protesters across Southern California and the country took to the streets for ‘No Kings’ demonstrations against President Trump and the $45-million celebration of the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday, which coincides with Trump’s 79th.

Both Scranton and Wilkes-Barre had No King's protests in their respective downtowns. Newswatch16's Adi Iyer was on scene for both.
