While President Donald Trump hosts a military parade in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, you will find opposition rallies nationwide, including in Door and Kewaunee counties. The Grand Military Parade and Celebration will feature flyovers, military equipment, and thousands of soldiers marching on the streets of Washington, D.C., near the National Mall beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. According to USA Today, the day’s events will also feature Trump attending an enlistment and reenlistment ceremony after the parade. Additional information through the U.S. Army can be found here.
According to NoKings.org, June 14th is also being called a “nationwide day of defiance” in response to the parade due to projected cuts to social security, SNAP, Medicaid, and public schools. Democratic Party representatives in Door and Kewaunee counties and Indivisible Door County are helping to organize the events locally after hosting previous demonstrations in April and May. The No Kings Rally in Door County will occur Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at Sawyer Park in Sturgeon Bay. In Kewaunee County, the rally will occur at Legion Park from 1 p.m. until 2 p.m. More than 1,800 demonstrations are expected to take place throughout the country.
