WARRENVILLE, IL — A rally called "Kick Out the Clowns" is planned for June 14 in Warrenville to protest Donald Trump's "MAGA regime and the clowns who lead it," according to the event description. The rally, one of many circus-themed events planned across the United States, will coincide with a military parade Trump has planned for his birthday.

The "Kick Out the Clowns" event description reads,

"June 14 is our chance to reflect the absurdity of the MAGA regime and the clowns who lead it. To meet this moment, Women’s March will host community circuses nationwide—bold, creative actions that mirror the chaos MAGA has sown across the country. Together, we’ll set a national record for the most circuses held in a single day, while we simultaneously refuse to celebrate a petty clown who desperately wants to be seen as strong. We won’t stop until we build the country we all deserve."

More than 250 "Kick Out the Clowns" in-person and virtual events are planned for June 14, including one in Washington, D.C. and one at Trump's Mar-a-Lago. Similar events will be held in Chicago, Schaumburg, Springfield and other locations in Illinois.
