This July 4, some Americans are planning to retire their Independence Day barbecues and instead head to the streets in protest against President Donald Trump and his Administration.

The collective demonstrations will be the latest in a long line of protests that have taken place since Trump returned to the White House for a second term. On June 14, as Trump held a national military parade in Washington, D.C.,–the largest the capital city has seen in decades—people across the U.S. gathered for counter-action, attending "No Kings" protests to publicly “reject authoritarianism.” Ahead of the big day, Trump had warned that “people that want to protest will be met with big force,” saying participants are “people that hate our country.”

Amid the “No Kings” activism, states across the U.S. also encountered immigration protests as people demonstrated against the Trump Administration’s ICE raids. The protests notably started in Los Angeles and garnered national and international attention, especially after Trump deployed the National Guard, and later the Marines, to quell the demonstrations, without the request of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. The decision resulted in much criticism and a legal battle, with an appeals court ultimately ruling that Trump was allowed to keep control of the National Guard in L.A.

In April, people gathered across the U.S. and international cities such as London, Paris, and Stockholm to protest against the actions of Trump and his then-ally, former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) lead Elon Musk. (The former allies have since had a very public falling out.) Now, a fresh round of protests are set to take place on July 4, America’s Independence Day. Here’s what we know about the planned action.

6. I am amazed at how much is spent on mass protests-transportation, hotels food and snacks and bullhorns, When

if all the protesters refused to spend their discretionary income and instead put it into savings, their voices would be astoundingly higher. If all protesters, No Kings, Women's Marches, Indivisible convinced their members to withhold the spending $ 1000.00 over the next six months and put that money into their savings, the GDP of the US would decline by 2% points. That would scare the bejessus out of Trump and the GOP.

7. Indivisible had over 2000 events all over the world,mostly in US but in every state. No one had to travel far or stay in

hotels. There was minimal cost and the protests had a huge impact.
