More than 757 events are scheduled across the United States on Saturday in protest of the Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" border policy, including several in Arizona, according to MoveOn event organizers.

Immigration rallies are planned in every state, Puerto Rico, and as far as Lisbon, Portugal.

The largest events in Arizona are expected to be in Phoenix, Nogales, and Tucson. Rallies are also scheduled in Flagstaff, San Luis, Bisbee, Kingman, Payson, Pinetop, and Prescott.

In Arizona, at least 11 events are scheduled across the state for Saturday.

Washington, D.C., is expected to attract the largest crowd, according to Marzena Zukowska, communication specialist with the National Domestic Workers Alliance, which is one of the lead partners for the nationwide event.

The nationwide "Families Belong Together" protest is a consequence to the separation of immigrant children from their parents at the border. Though President Donald Trump has signed an executive order halting the family separations, nationwide organizers are keeping up the pressure to ensure that families are reunited.

"The challenge is that almost no families have been reunited who have been separated," Zukowska said. "Replacing family separation with family detention and jailing children with their parents is not a solution."

MoveOn, a liberal advocacy organization, is one of four lead partners for the Families Belong Together events and its website MoveOn.org is a clearinghouse of information about the protests across the country.

Peg Bowden organized the rally planned for Nogales. It's one of two events that will take place along the Arizona-Mexico border.

With the administration still pushing for a "zero-tolerance" policy in between the ports of entry, hundreds of families have arrived in Nogales in the past two months to seek asylum at the DeConcini crossing, instead of entering the country illegally.

Bowden, a volunteer with the humanitarian group Green Valley Samaritans, has spent time with the migrant families camped out across the port of entry, waiting up to two weeks to talk to an immigration officer.
