Thousands gathered in Daley Plaza and in suburban events in protests timed to coincide with a military parade in Washington celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.

Celebrities like Mark Ruffalo, Jimmy Kimmel, Kerry Washington and more are stepping out in support of the “No Kings” protests happening nationwide against president Donald Trump’s increasingly authoritarian behavior.

The “No Kings” rallies were organized in nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, including cities, towns, and community spaces.

Democracy is “in real trouble,” Mark Ruffalo told MSNBC’s Antonio Hylton while attending the “No Kings” rally in New York City Saturday. His words were echoed by Ellen Pompeo, Kerry Washington, Jimmy Kimmel, and many more notable people and celebrities who spoke out in support of the nationwide protests.

Additional celebrities including Anna Kendrick, Gina Rodriguez-LoCicero and Tessa Thompson were out on Saturday to protest against the Trump administration.

No Kings organizers said they intentionally avoided having an event in Washington, so Trump couldn’t use the protest as justification to crack down on demonstrators or label the movement antimilitary.
