Thousands of Long Islanders are expected to participate in a sweeping series of at least a dozen rallies and marches across Nassau and Suffolk counties on June 14 as part of the national No Kings Day of Defiance.
The coordinated effort is among more than 1,500 demonstrations across all 50 states being held on Flag Day, which is also President Donald Trump’s birthday, taking aim at the administration for what organizers call rising authoritarianism, billionaire influence, and economic injustice in the United States. Organizers are calling on local residents from all backgrounds to take part in peaceful, nonviolent protests that will span locations from Mineola to Orient Point.
