Supporters and protesters are rallying this Presidents Day weekend.

On Saturday, a local militia group displayed weapons in support of President Donald Trump outside Centennial Olympic Park, according to Channel 2 Action News.

A few members of a militia group called the III% Security Force held signs and openly carried handguns and a few military-type rifles and shotguns, saying they were there to keep the peace and protect their Second Amendment right to bear arms, the television station reported.

The group’s leader, Chris Hill, said they wanted to make sure counter-protesters wouldn’t assault them.

A group of anti-Trump organizers are expected to march on Monday from the Arts Center MARTA station to the mall at Lenox Square.

They are calling the "peach-ful" march for what they call "Not My Presidents Day."
