A series of celebrities have attended anti-Trump protests this weekend, including The Bear actress Ayo Edebiri, RuPaul’s Drag Race star Bob the Drag Queen and Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness.

The latest wave of protests against President Donald Trump took place across the weekend, including during his 79th birthday celebrations on Saturday (14 June), and was branded the “No Kings” protest.

In various cities nationwide, participants rallied against Trump’s presidential agenda, including his aggressive anti-immigration and mass deportation policies. Protestors marched across the nation to condemn what organisers have claimed is an “authoritarian” level of overreach by the president since his inauguration in January.

The “No-Kings” campaign, a coast-to-coast movement, opposed the use of taxpayers’ dollars for a “self-aggrandising” military parade. Trump’s event had an expected cost of up to $45 million (£33 million), as per the Economic Times.

The protests drew crowds of at least 4 million, whilst Trump’s military birthday parade garnered just 250,000 people, reports suggest.

Even celebrities joined the marches against Trump over the weekend, including stars like Edebiri, Bob the Drag Queen and Van Ness. Keep reading to see who else attended the “No Kings” marches.
