Regarding likely protests at the military parade: I prefer boycott over protests.

The bigger the crowd, the more likely TSF will find a way to turn it to advantage.

Let empty streets at his birthday be the message on that day.

Instead, attend the June 14 (Saturday) No Kings protests.

1. People need to close their damn wallets. Economic boycotts are a form of protest.

It is a way to turn people against leadership because citizens hate it when the economy crashes.

I am thoroughly dissatisfied with this president and Congress. Why should I support the US economy?

3. I think we can do both

I don’t fear protest because everyone sees how badly people can be treated and people are getting involved that’s important. Hispanic people cannot stage a successful boycott to stop deportation but they can show the world what is happening here. I see people showing righteous anger at people being snatched off the streets.

2. Let him have his little vanity parade

And throw a massive protest in a different part of the city. Just my thought. I’m somewhat nearby in Philly and we are expecting a pretty massive turnout.

As previously stated, a spending boycott or a general strike would be the most effective means to push back.

4. It's a trap for protesters at this point in DC

Remember that they were hoping that "Antifa" was going to show up at J6. People were extremely wise to stay completely away from that mess.

In this climate they would create as set of charges on you that would tie you up for years and bankrupt you if you are lucky.

5. If You Look on the Map

From fiftyfifty.one and others, there are NO protests scheduled within the boundaries of the District of Columbia. I've heard rumors of one on 16th Street in NW, but that's about it. Nothing near the closure area. There are protests around the area, but nothing within the boundaries. The only one listed within the borders of DC is actually in Nice, France - probably giving the French Embassy address.

So yeah. Nobody's going to be there.

6. The only sound will be machines.

He can’t pay enough people to make it look successful. And he’s going to have to be closely guarded. What a dunce.

8. ty for this info. I will pass it on to family. we're out in the sticks sometimes

[proud patriot]

9. Yes none in DC

this was done so it couldn't look like we were protsting the millitary .

the organizers wanted a clear seperation .

[OrlandoDem2]

11. Makes sense but it also shows how stupid Americans are that the organizers have to go to such great lengths.

We are not protesting the military. Just Trump’s stupidity and authoritarianism.

7. There will be no large crowds of protestors in DC.

A couple of groups have applied for permits:

https://www.axios.com/local/washington-dc/2025/06/10/counterprotests-june-14-military-parade

-A pro-democracy group is rallying 200-300 people at Fort Reno Park, according to a National Park Service permit application.
-Two other rallies — an "Equity March" and "Refuse Fascism" protest — hope to draw 500 people each to downtown, per an NPS application.
-A different group of organizers in D.C. cancelled a military parade protest that hoped to attract up to 20,000 people Saturday. They had originally planned to gather at Meridian Hill Park and walk to the National Mall.

That's a total of 3 (only 2 on or near the mall) with a "hoped for" total attendance of 1300. Groups have paid attention to the "No Kings" organizers to stay away from DC while protesting literally everywhere else. Note: the "Refuse Fascism" group's last protest in DC in may drew less than 100 people. Also, people should avoid that group - they have ties to the Revolutionary Communist Party.

10. ty for info.

Nobody really wants to go, I reckon.

[GenThePerservering]

13. That's a satire going around nt

15. oh. bummer

I was hoping it was true.

14. Indivisible is deliberately not planning any protests in DC.

Organizers with the “No Kings” movement are planning some 1,500 demonstrations across the country to protest the upcoming military parade Saturday.

One notable location, however, is missing from that list: Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place.

Protest organizers have framed the move as a rejection of the spectacle, which will mark the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army as well as the 79th birthday of President Trump.

“Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption,” organizers wrote.
