The “No Kings” protest movement is planning a third national day of action this Saturday in response to the war in Iran and continued immigration enforcement.

More than 50 events are taking place in the L.A. metro area alone, with the largest planned in downtown Los Angeles, where over 100,000 people are expected to attend, according to organizers.

“Many of the organizations that have coordinated with us are sending feeder marches or caravans to attend the rally in downtown L.A.,” said Nick Miller, a press coordinator for 50501 SoCal, which is part of the No Kings coalition.

During the first No Kings protest in June, thousands in downtown Los Angeles marched in the largely peaceful protest before the LAPD issued a dispersal order and employed less than lethal weapons on the crowd, saying people were “throwing rocks, bricks, bottles and other objects.”

For this Saturday, an LAPD spokesperson told LAist the department is prepared for the event and “have sufficient resources to respond.”

Law enforcement in Long Beach, where a march is planned, said they’re ready as well.

“If you are participating in a demonstration, please abide by all traffic laws. Criminal activity and violence will not be tolerated,” said Jordan McGinleywith the Long Beach Police Department.

There are more than 3,000 demonstrations planned for Saturday nationwide.
