Thousands of Hampton Roads residents are expected to join national “No Kings” protests across the region Saturday. Demonstrations are planned in Chesapeake, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, and Yorktown. Protesters object to Trump administration policies, including a military parade, cuts to veterans affairs and social services, and perceived authoritarianism. Organizers anticipate large crowds at the peaceful events, which are planned to coincide with Flag Day and the Army’s anniversary. Sign-making sessions were held earlier in the week in preparation for the weekend rallies and marches. Local organizers are coordinating with police and implementing safety measures for participants.
