Organizers said some 2,600 protests were planned in the U.S. on Saturday. The protests were largely peaceful, as demonstrators united in their stated aim to safeguard the country's democratic values.

The demonstrations follow a wave of protests in June that organizers say drew more than 5 million people in cities across the country.

Speaking at a "No Kings" rally in Washington, D.C., Bill Nye, the former host of "Bill Nye the Science Guy," urged lawmakers to “stop the abuses of this petulant president [Trump] and his circle of sycophants,” declaring, “No thrones, no crowns, no kings."

With chants, costumes and colorful signs, Washingtonians raised their voices against Trump's hard-line policies on immigration, the federal budget and more.

The "No Kings" organizing group said rallies are expected in hundreds of locations across the country on Saturday in cooperation with civil rights groups and other organizations. The movement said it mobilized millions of people at its protests in June. Here is the latest map from their website showing where rallies are planned:

The Pacific Northwest’s largest “No Kings” protest is set to take place in Seattle on Saturday, alongside several other rallies across western Washington.

More "No Kings Day" protests come amid a partial government shutdown and as Trump sends, or threatens to send, National Guard troops to Democrat-led cities.

Huge crowds of protesters gathered in major cities across the U.S. and in other parts of the country on Saturday to take part in rallies against President Trump and his administration.
