Los Angeles is bracing for a significant day of demonstrations on Saturday, June 14, following a week marked by ongoing protests throughout the city.
Organizers have announced that these nationwide protests, collectively termed “No Kings Day,” are intended as a response to rising authoritarianism and government corruption across the United States.
This wave of protests was largely ignited by recent immigration enforcement actions that have touched a nerve in the community.
While most demonstrations have remained peaceful, tensions flared earlier this week in Downtown L.A., leading city officials to implement a curfew starting June 10.
To ensure safety and order during the planned protests on Saturday, the city is closely monitoring the situation and collaborating with local organizations.
As of Wednesday, no additional curfews have been issued; however, city officials advise residents to stay vigilant for any updates and to prepare for potential disruptions.
For those who are planning to participate in the protests, commute through affected areas, or simply avoid the crowds, it’s crucial to stay informed about the events taking place in Los Angeles on June 14.
The following demonstrations have been scheduled across Los Angeles County:

The organizers behind the “No Kings” protest have emphasized the importance of peaceful assembly, urging participants to focus on de-escalating any potential conflicts and to adhere to lawful conduct during the events.
They have also instructed attendees not to bring any weapons, regardless of their legal status.
Additionally, participants are encouraged to remain hydrated, travel in groups, and pay close attention to their personal safety.
For those taking public transportation, it’s advisable to stay updated on service changes and detours.
Resources to monitor include the social media accounts @MetroLAalerts, @LADOTTransit, and @FoothillTransit for real-time announcements regarding delays and detours.
Visitors should be aware that businesses in the downtown area and other protest locations may alter their hours or temporarily close their doors.
Residents are encouraged to check the websites and social media channels of local businesses before planning their visit.
In light of the protests, the City and County of Los Angeles, as well as the state of California, have provided resources aimed at supporting mental health and offering legal information as the situation evolves.
