A protest is planned Saturday morning in Gulfport as part of nationwide demonstrations against the Trump administration that progressive groups are calling No Kings National Day of Defiance.
A group of liberal organizations called the Mississippi Gulf Coast Mutual Aid Collective is organizing the event and said the protest is “in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies.”
The protest is one of hundreds expected in cities across the country on the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday, when President Donald Trump has planned a military parade in Washington D.C. It also comes after federal immigration raids sparked protests that began last week in Los Angeles and have spread to other cities.
The protest in Gulfport is scheduled for 9 a.m. at the Dan M. Russell Federal Courthouse. The group said it expects 200 people to attend but anticipates no road closures.
Organizers said they will march to Highway 90 and end with a peaceful assembly at Jones Park.
