Democratic activists are planning a series of "No Kings" protests across Georgia on Saturday.

The protests are happening nationwide, including nearly 40 in Georgia. Indivisible North Metro spokeswoman Laura Judge says she hopes the demonstrations remind participants that the power is with the people. 

“We have no kings, no thrones, no crowns here in America," she said. "That's what America was based on and we're gonna push back against this authoritarian authoritarianism that we see."

Activists in Atlanta will hold a rally at the Civic Center followed by a march. The ongoing government shutdown and national guard deployment to cities around the U.S. are expected to be themes in rally speeches. 

Saturday's protests will be the second round of No Kings protests. Thousands of people across the state joined the first iteration of the No Kings protests in June.

Protests are planned for Atlanta, Columbus, Albany and other cities around the state. A list can be found here.
