Chattanooga is among the more than 2,000 U.S. cities where organizers are planning a “No Kings” protest Saturday — the same day as President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday and his planned military parade.

(UPDATE: ‘No Kings’ rally gets underway in Chattanooga)

Chattanooga’s protest, organized by Indivisible Chattanooga, is scheduled from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at Miller Park.

The day of protests is a response to “increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies,” organizers said in a release announcing the event.

“We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens and defied the courts,” the release said.
