Tens of thousands of people gathered across Arizona in parks, on street corners and at the state Capitol for a national day of protest against President Donald Trump, many in inflatable costumes that have become a symbol of resistance.

With the edge coming off the heat in Phoenix, the mass protests against the Trump administration are back. On Saturday, thousands of “No Kings” protests took place across the country, including several in the Valley and the rest of Arizona.
