Across the country, demonstrators expressed their anguish against President Donald Trump and his administration by taking part in the “No Kings” protests.

While the protest is called “No Kings Day of Definance” across the country, ACLU Hawaiʻi and co-organizers said it is being called “No Dictator Day” in the islands due to the recognition of the Hawaiian Monarchy. The state saw a total of six protests — one on Oʻahu, one on Maui and four on the Big Isle.

Protests scheduled throughout the continental U.S. this weekend will also be held on Hawai‘i Island. More than 7,000 Hawaiʻi residents, including teachers, veterans, immigration and civil rights advocates, are expected to join the No Kings Mass protest on Saturday throughout the state.

Tens of thousands of Americans joined "No Kings" protests across the United States against the Trump administration.

Protests in cities across the country are scheduled for June 14, with participants looking to protest the actions of President Donald Trump and his administration, with several events scheduled
