Crowds of protesters flooded the streets of Washington and other cities across the U.S. on Saturday to participate in the more than 2,700 “No Kings” rallies, held in protest of President Donald Trump’s administration.

The rallies were a family affair for some, while many participants chanted, sang songs and waved homemade signs while marching. 

Organizers said nearly 7 million people turned out for the various “No Kings” protests across the country.

Here are some of the photos from Saturday’s march in Washington.
