The rally, called the "Our America Unity Rally," is taking a stand against that executive order that President Donald Trump signed, which temporarily put a travel ban on seven Middle Eastern countries.
Rally organizers say that the event will feature speakers and representatives, but they have not said who.
The rally is taking place following a protest earlier in the week on Duke University's campus.
