On Saturday, October 18, thousands of people are anticipated to participate in a fresh round of “No Kings” demonstrations around Kentucky and Indiana. This is a part of a broader national campaign that opposes what organizers call President Donald Trump’s “authoritarian power grabs.”
In June, the grassroots effort got underway at the same time as Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C.
Nearly 4,000 people attended Louisville’s first rally of the summer, which spilled into Jefferson Square Park from Metro Hall.
“We did what many claimed was impossible: peacefully mobilized millions of people to take to the streets and declare with one voice — America has no kings,” organizers said on the No Kings website.
Protesters are now getting ready to gather once more to voice their opposition to the Trump administration’s policies regarding voting rights, healthcare, immigration and education.
Organizers say the president is responsible for “gutting healthcare, environmental protections, and education when families need them most,” and “driving up the cost of living while handing out massive giveaways to billionaire allies.”
More Than 60 Rallies Planned Regionally
A total of 62 “No Kings” protests are scheduled across Kentucky and Indiana on Saturday. The coordinated demonstrations are expected to be among the largest, including major Kentucky cities like Louisville, Lexington and Frankfort.
