Philadelphia braces for No Kings protest as nationwide rallies roll out

Philadelphia will host a No Kings rally at City Hall on Saturday, with a noon start and a march down the Ben Franklin Parkway, followed by speeches around 1:15 p.m.; road closures and SEPTA detours are planned as dozens of regional protests spread across the Philly area and nearby states, part of a nationwide movement organized by Indivisible opposing what organizers call authoritarian excess under the Trump administration.
