Tens of thousands of local residents are expected to take to the streets Saturday for No Kings Day, a nationwide protest of President Trump.

“Our country is a republic. Our country has no kings and judging from the policies and the actions coming out of the White House and from the President, that does not actually tell us that he's acting as a king, and people are just tired of it, and they wanted to speak out,” No Kings Carlsbad Protest Organizer, Kathy Minton said.

Crowds of demonstrators gathered around the country on Saturday, protesting what they called President Trump’s overreach.

Protests are scheduled in Stockton and across California and the U.S. on Saturday, June 14. Here's what experts say to know and pack if you go.
