Map and List of Cities Hosting Anti-Trump Protests on Fourth of July
The upcoming events follow other nationwide protests against the Trump administration and its policies organized by the 50501 Movement (50 protests, 50 states, one movement) and other groups since Trump returned to office in January.
On June 14, Trump's birthday, millions of people took to the streets for "No Kings" protests, targeting the president's military parade to mark the Army's 250th anniversary.
Women's March, the organization behind "Free America Weekend," is calling on people to join or host events over the coming holiday weekend.
"We invite communities to create their own Free America events-rallies, marches, block parties, banner drops, street parades, art builds, backyard BBQs, dance protests, and more," the Women's March website said.
"They want us scared, divided, and alone. They don't want us to dream about freedom. But that's exactly what we have to do," it continued. "This Fourth of July, we will be in the streets with songs of freedom and joy. The dream of American freedom belongs to all of us, and we will not stop in our pursuit of its promise, now or ever."
Here are some of the Free America events taking place over the holiday weekend. To see a map and all the events taking place, visit the Women's March website.

"Free America is wherever we are. Free America is whatever we make it. Host or join a July 4th Free America action-rallies, BBQs, marches, art builds, community block parties, and more to celebrate real freedom."
Free America events are scheduled to take place across the country over the July Fourth weekend. Some local chapters of Indivisible have also planned "No Kings 2.0" protests for July 4.
Another day of nationwide demonstrations-billed as "Good Trouble Lives On," a reference to the late congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis-are planned for July 17. According to organizers, the events are a response to "the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration."

Trump sees India trade deal, skeptical on progress with Japan
STORY: With one week to go before his deadline for trade deals, Donald Trump is feeling hopeful about talks with at least one major country: ''I think we're going to have a deal with India, possibly, and that's going to be a different kind of a deal. It's going to be a deal where we're able to go in and compete. Right now, India doesn't accept anybody in. I think India's going to do that and if they do that, we're going to have a deal for less much less tariffs.' The U.S. President spoke to reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday (July 1). He said he wasn't thinking about extending the July 9 deadline for agreements. And he again expressed doubt about a deal with Japan: 'They and others are so spoiled from having ripped us off for 30, 40 years; that it's really hard for them to make a deal. You know, it's very hard.' Trump said Japan had refused to take American rice, despite having a shortage of the staple grains. And he said Tokyo had been 'unfair' more broadly, citing its big trade surplus in cars as evidence. The president said he could impose a 35% tariff on the country - or well above the 24% he announced in April and then paused. Earlier Tuesday, Japan's chief cabinet secretary said Tokyo would continue talking to Washington, but would not sacrifice its agriculture sector in order to get a deal. India's foreign minister said this week that talks were at an 'intricate' stage. Sticking points are thought to include duties on car parts, steel and farm goods.

Bakari Sellers: Trump's ‘Alligator Alcatraz' is one of most un-American things I've seen
While touring a Florida ICE detention facility dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz,' President Trump again raised the possibility of deporting violent American citizens. CNN commentator Bakari Sellers questions where an order like that could end up and thinks the idea of "Alligator Alcatraz" is un-American.
