Nearly 7 million people participated in "No Kings" Saturday, organizers say. [View all]

(CNN) Nearly seven million protesters, about two million more than in June, gathered today for the second round of “No Kings” demonstrations, organizers said, in broad opposition to what they described as President Donald Trump’s “authoritarian” agenda. Protesters rallied across more than 2,700 US cities and towns Saturday.

The widespread rallies were largely peaceful, police said, with many large cities reporting no protest-related incidents or arrests.
