Demonstrations against the policies of US President Donald Trump will be held across the country on October 18th, the organizers of the action “No Kings“ announced.
“On October 18th, millions of people will come out again to show the world: America has no kings, the power belongs to the people“, says the protest website.
“In June, the world saw the power of the people and President Trump's attempt to crown himself failed under the pressure of resistance from people who oppose Trump's abuse of power. Now he is doubling down on his efforts - sending the military into our communities, disenfranchising voters, handing out gifts to billionaires while ordinary families struggle to make ends meet. This is not just politics, it is democracy against dictatorship,“ organizers noted.
They expect at least 5-6 million people to take to the streets nationwide in October.
The No Kings protests first took place in the United States on June 14, Trump's birthday and the day of the military parade in Washington. Since then, at least 2,100 demonstrations have taken place in American cities.
