“Our country is a republic. Our country has no kings and judging from the policies and the actions coming out of the White House and from the President, that does not actually tell us that he's acting as a king, and people are just tired of it, and they wanted to speak out,” No Kings Carlsbad Protest Organizer, Kathy Minton said.
No Kings Day protests against the Trump administration are being held today across the country, with thousands of people attending dozens of events in the Bay Area.
Crowds of demonstrators gathered around the country on Saturday, protesting what they called President Trump’s overreach.
The parade, honoring the Army’s long-planned 250th anniversary celebration and coinciding with Trump’s 79th birthday, is set to step off from the Lincoln Memorial under the threat of stormy weather in Washington and protests around the country tied to a turbulent week of immigration enforcement that has involved military deployment in Los Angeles.
The event — in which participants lined the bridge from Wysor Street to Riverside Avenue — was part of a nationwide "No Kings" protest.
