The 'No Kings' protest drew thousands of people to the state Capitol in Hartford to demonstrate against President Trump's policies.

The Hartford event is anticipating as many as 5,000 participants as individuals around the state plan to rally to defend democracy.

The "No Kings" protests were scheduled in Connecticut as early as 9:30 a.m. in Canton and Glastonbury and could last elsewhere until 6 p.m.

Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are rallying in hundreds of cities during the military parade in Washington for the Army’s 250th anniversary — which coincides with Trump’s birthday.

Protests will extend across the southwest and northeast corners of the state. Rallies are also planned in major cities including Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford.

Connecticut’s rally was one of more than 2,000 demonstrations held across all 50 states and 17 countries organized in part by the 50501 Movement and the organization Indivisible.
