As President Donald Trump prepared to host a military parade in Washington to mark the 250th anniversary of the Army and his 79th birthday, thousands of Atlanta residents took to the streets for ‘No Kings’ protests across the Atlanta metro area.

Hundreds rally in Atlanta's Liberty Plaza for 'No Kings' to protest Trump's policies. Chants of 'Immigrants are welcome here' echoed loudly.
