Saturday, while the Army celebrates its 250th birthday with a military parade in Washington, D.C., hundreds of cities across the country will be filled with people protesting the Trump administration.According to their website, the 'No Kings' protests are a part of a 'nationwide day of defiance.'The “No Kings�� theme was orchestrated by the 50501 Movement, a national movement made up of everyday Americans who stand for democracy and against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement.Across Central Alabama, three cities will be holding protests. Those locations include:Jacksonville: Jacksonville Public Square Jacksonville, AL 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.Tuscaloosa: 2005 University Blvd. Tuscaloosa, AL 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.Birmingham: 2616 Third Avenue South, Birmingham, AL 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.The protests, organized by Birmingham Indivisible and Alabama 50501, are intended to be non-violent. Lynne Lee with Alabama 50501 said her organization has been in contact with local law enforcement to help achieve that goal."Our law enforcement here in Birmingham and several other places where we're holding these gatherings have been very helpful," Lee said. "They are here to protect and serve all people and we stand with the police officers that are here to protect and serve their people."Saturday's nationwide event comes in the middle of anti-immigration raid protests in Los Angeles, where President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard after demonstrations turned violent. Lee believes that the violence is not related to the original mission of the protests."We know that the violence and the fires and the damage, they're not from the people that are trying to send the message and telling this Trump administration, you are not welcome in our communities. ICE is not welcome in our communities," she said. "It's very easy to tell that they are not with us and not for our message and our mission. Our mission is peace and nonviolence all the way, 100%."She's encouraging anyone who attends Saturday's protests to remain in line with that mission and stay peaceful."Conduct yourself with empathy, professionalism, understanding, patience, calmness and alertness," Lee said.While the goal is for the demonstration to remain peaceful, Birmingham Police Chief Michael Pickett says his team is ready to act if things escalate."We are in constant communications with our Fusion Center here in Alabama that flows information from all the United States," Pickett said. "When we identify that we make sure we have resources in place to monitor it. That can be actual personnel and/or cameras. So, yes, we will be monitoring that and we do have a plan in place."Lee said her team also has a plan in place in case that happens, to try to prevent the protests from turning violent."All of us that have been organizing these events, we've had people that take safety training classes, martial training classes, we're prepared to handle any type of resistance that we may get," she said. "We're here to defuse the situation, and law enforcement seems to be on everybody's side to protect everybody and keep anything ugly from happening to anyone."Ahead of the nationwide protests on Saturday, the American Civil Liberties Union is sharing information, making sure protesters know their rights. Here are some things to know: You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement officer at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney - no matter your citizenship or immigration status.
