There are over 2,500 events scheduled for No Kings protests on Oct. 18 across the nation. This is the second round of No Kings protests since June 14, which saw over 1,800 events scheduled nationwide.
Organizers say the No Kings events will challenge President Donald Trump as he escalates “his violent authoritarian attacks on our freedoms,” citing the militarization of United States cities such as Chicago and the government shutdown that began Oct. 1.
“No Kings Day is about claiming what we’ve already built. Working people built this country, not billionaires,” April Verrett, president of the Service Employees International Union, said in a news release. “We’re protecting what we’ve built, and we’re building what’s next. Let’s go get it.”
There are over 80 events scheduled in Florida, including six on the Treasure Coast. Here’s where.
