‘No Kings’ Protests This Weekend: What to Know
More than 2,500 events are planned nationwide to oppose authoritarianism and policies of the Trump administration, organizers said, aiming to surpass the 4 to 6 million protesters from June.
- On Saturday, Oct. 18, the No Kings organization will hold at least 2,500 events nationwide, including a Grand County Democrats protest from 2 to 5 p.m. at Hideaway Park in Winter Park to 'fight dictatorship.'
- Organizers say the No Kings movement responds to authoritarian excesses and billionaire-first politics, while local Grand County residents cited Medicaid and social service cuts affecting 1,807 people.
- June's events included around 5 million people nationwide and a Salt Lake City incident where a safety volunteer fired three shots, wounding Arturo Gamboa and killing Arthur Folasa Ah Loo.
- Organizers say they expect more than 100,000 attendees at the Washington, D.C. National Mall , with main-stage schedule from noon to 2 PM and pre-programming at 11:30 AM.
- Amid a recent government shutdown, organizers say frustration may boost turnout, and the movement—organized by Indivisible and the 50501 Movement—has grown since June.
