In the Greater Boston area, thousands of “No Kings” marches and rallies are taking place, part of major demonstrations planned across the country.

The Boston pride rally and the No Kings rally organizers said more than 1 million people showed up Saturday on Boston Common to celebrate the LGBTQ community and democracy. A ribbon-cutting ceremony kicked off Boston's Pride for the People march while a motorcycle contingent led a rally down Clarendon Street and through the Back Bay as hundreds of thousands of people celebrated the LGBTQ+ community.

Thousands of people gathered in Copley Square in Boston on Saturday for the Pride parade while "No Kings" protesters lined the streets in peaceful protest. Peaceful ProtestsThe "No Kings" protests along the parade route were peaceful and upbeat as the Pride Parade marched from Copley Square to Boston Common.

The annual Boston Pride celebration will be held on Saturday, June 14. The parade will begin at 11 a.m. and run until 12:30 p.m., followed by a festival on Boston Common from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and a 21+ block party at City Hall Plaza from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Protests against President Donald Trump and his administration are planned nationwide Saturday, but in Boston, organizers say the “No Kings” demonstration will look a little different, since the day of action coincides with the city’s Pride parade and festival.

“No Kings” organizers, including Mass 50501 and the Indivisible Mass Coalition, had encouraged the Boston protesters to join in with the Pride parade, to show “joyous defiance of anti-LGBTQIA+ tyranny of a fascist administration.”

The Boston protest was one of many across the country in support of David Huerta, president of the California SEIU, who was detained by federal officials in Los Angeles on Friday.

A rally will be held in Boston on Monday afternoon in response to ICE raids and protests in Los Angeles over the weekend.

The rallies were among hundreds of "No Kings" protests held throughout the United States, timed to coincide with a military parade celebrating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C. Saturday was also Trump's 79th birthday.
