'Free America' protests locations: List of cities set for 'No Kings 2.0’ rallies on July 4

The quaternary of July is drawing nearer, and even though the holiday is traditionally marked by fireworks and lawn parties, multiple activist movements plan on holding protests across the country to retaliate against the Trump administration’s policies. Labelled as “No Kings Protest 2.0,” this rally is meant as a follow-up to the demonstrations held earlier against the backdrop of the Army Day Parade in Washington DC.

The Women’s March is organizing a “Free America Weekend” in this regard. “This July 4th, while the U.S. Marks Independence Day, we’ll gather across the country—on porches, in town squares, backyards, and streets—to stand for real freedom and build a vision of a Free America brick by brick. Free America is wherever we are. Free America is whatever we make it,” says their official website.
