Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in nearly 2,000 cities and towns this weekend.

Despite peaceful demonstrations reported in multiple cities, violence flared at some anti-Trump protests over the weekend.

Across the country, relatively few disruptions were reported during protests and marches where the mood ranged from joyful to defiant.

Part of a network of nationwide protest, the "No Kings" protest in Memphis drew thousands of peaceful protesters from around the area.

Protests in New York City coincided with the first day of early voting in the mayoral primary. At least 2,000 protests were taking place across the United States Saturday, June 14, after weeks of escalating tensions between citizens over the policies and actions of President Donald Trump's administration.

Following a week of protests across the country, nearly a dozen rallies are planned for the area this weekend, including one in downtown Raleigh.
