MONTEREY -- More than 5,000 people made their way to Monterey for the "No Kings" rally Saturday afternoon, filling Window by the Bay park and taking over Del Monte Avenue.

Participants carried signs and banners, dressed in red, white and blue and waved lots of American flags.

Several "No Kings" rallies took place all across the country Saturday, with many protesting President Trump's military parade that day being held in Washington D.C.

For many in California, Saturday was also a way to show their support for Los Angeles after protests had prompted the president to send active military service members to work alongside the National Guard.

"Our community is showing that we support our immigrant neighbors, we support Los Angeles and stand against the regime," said Heidi Feldman, one of the Monterey event organizers.
