More than 1 million descend on Boston Common for Pride and No Kings rallies [View all]
More than 1 million descend on Boston Common for Pride and No Kings ralliesThe Boston pride rally and the No Kings rally organizers said more than 1 million people showed up Saturday on Boston Common to celebrate the LGBTQ community and democracy.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony kicked off Boston's Pride for the People march while a motorcycle contingent led a rally down Clarendon Street and through the Back Bay as hundreds of thousands of people celebrated the LGBTQ+ community.

Also in Boston on Saturday afternoon, demonstrators joined other cities across the country for the No Kings protests.
The No Kings rally is a movement targeted at the Trump administration, and specifically President Donald Trump. Protesters said Trump is bypassing Congress with too many executive orders and is creating a government that is no longer by and for the people.
“I hope they can see that there are a number of us upset with how Trump is handling this country, and there is no normal anymore," said one protester.
