Wichita’s “No Kings” protest was organized by Defend Democracy ICT, which has been hosting regular protests downtown since February. Among the cities in Kansas with protests were Hutchinson, Garden City, Great Bend, Topeka and Ottawa.

No Kings rallies and marches are planned across the country as a counterprotest to a military parade and festival in Washington, D.C. The capital event coincides with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and will include more than 6,000 soldiers and dozens of tanks and aircraft.
