Protests against President Donald Trump, dubbed "No Kings" demonstrations, are planned across the US, with the GOP referring to them as "Hate America" rallies.
According to organizers, this is the third mass mobilization since Trump's return to the White House and is expected to be the largest.
The protests come amidst a government shutdown, which has closed federal programs and services, and is testing the balance of power between the executive, Congress, and the courts.
As one of the organizers warned, the current situation is a "slide toward American authoritarianism."
The president's Republican Party is calling these demonstrations "Hate America" rallies.
President Trump is currently away from Washington at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.
