Our Favorite Signs From the No Kings Protests
Thousands of No Kings protests swept across the United States on Saturday, June 14. The protests intentionally coincided with a lavish, Trump-ordered U.S. Army 250th anniversary parade, Flag Day and the president’s 79th birthday.
From big cities, to small rural towns, representing every corner of the country, between 4 and 6 million people in more than 2,000 locations attended No Kings protests across the country, making it one of the largest national protests in U.S. history.
Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., Trump’s military parade was “underwhelming,” according to reporters at The New York Times. According to the Associated Press, attendance fell far short of the expected 200,000.
At the No Kings protests, signs criticized many of Trump’s policies, including mass deportations of immigrants without due process; ongoing efforts to dismantle the civil service and weaken government agencies; attacks on academia and more.
“Today what I saw was a boisterous, peaceful display of First Amendment rights,” Ezra Levin, co-founder and co-executive director of the nonprofit Indivisible, told NPR.
