‘No Kings’ protest in Philly Saturday. Here’s what to know.

As the Trump administration’s forceful immigration raids continue, protesters in Philadelphia and across the country will take to the streets to protest as part of a nationwide “No Kings” rally.

Over 2,500 rallies are scheduled nationwide, with demonstrators here in the city marching from City Hall to Independence Mall to protest the Trump administration’s masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and deployment of troops in cities like Portland and Chicago.

The third “No Kings” protest since Trump took office in January also comes amid a government shutdown entering its third week, with no end in sight.

While several Democrats — including U.S. Reps. Brendan Boyle (D., Pa.), Mary Gay Scanlon (D., Pa.), and Jamie Raskin (D., Md.) — are scheduled to speak at Saturday’s event, Republicans have largely criticized the gathering as a “Hate America Rally.”

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R., La.) suggested without evidence that there will be “Hamas supporters” and “antifa types,” and claimed Democrats are prolonging the government shutdown because of Saturday’s demonstrations.

“Speaker Johnson is running out of excuses for keeping the government shut down,” organizers said in response. “Instead of reopening the government, preserving affordable healthcare, or lowering costs for working families, he’s attacking millions of Americans who are peacefully coming together to say that America belongs to its people, not to kings.”

Here’s what you should know:

Philadelphia isn’t the only city where anti-Trump protests are planned. This time around, similar rallies are planned across Pennsylvania and South Jersey, including Havertown, Springfield, West Chester, Elkins Park, and Haddon Township, N.J.

Protesters will also rally across from Trump National Golf Club Philadelphia in Pine Hill, N.J.

It’s the third “No Kings” rally in Philadelphia since Trump’s inauguration in January. In April, thousands of protesters rallied at Independence Mall to reject “the rule of a king,” while in June, anti-Trump demonstrators marched to the Philadelphia Art Museum.

City officials said street closures will begin Saturday morning and continue as protesters march from the north side of City Hall down to Independence Mall.

The following streets are expected to close at the assembly area from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, at the discretion of police:

Beginning around 11:30 a.m., Market Street will be closed from Juniper Street to Fifth Street for the march. Market Street will reopen to vehicles around 2:30 p.m.

Market Street between Fifth Street and Sixth Street will be closed from 1:15 p.m. until around 3:30 p.m. for the rally.

SEPTA bus routes in Center City will shift Saturday from 10 a.m. through about 4 p.m.

Specific route changes are available on SEPTA’s website.

As for parking, officials warn drivers to adhere to “Temporary No Parking” signs placed around the march route. Cars parked during posted hours will be relocated by police.
