Protesters turned out at roughly 2,700 rallies around the country to celebrate free speech and protest many of the Trump administration's actions.

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.

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."

Massachusetts State Police said they're prepared for the crowds expected at the No Kings rallies in and around Boston on Saturday.

People gathered in Chicago and the suburbs Saturday for a "No Kings" protest amid ongoing federal immigration enforcement operations in the area.

"No Kings” protests are planned for Dallas, but also North Texas suburbs, including Frisco, Arlington, Denton, Flower Mound, Forney, Garland and McKinney.

On October 18, millions of us are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people,” the No Kings website reads. Worcester organizers say they believe the protest can effect real change.
