\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSign reads: “The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.” – John F. Kennedy. By: Josh Holton (10\/18\/25)<\/p>\n

On Saturday, around 8 million people attended more than 2600 protests across the United States for \u201cNo Kings<\/a>\u201d demonstrations, and 100 of those were organized in Florida<\/a> to protest what they see as a descent into authoritarianism under President Donald Trump. In Orlando, thousands of people gathered downtown in front of City Hall. For their No Kings rally.<\/p>\n

Some demonstrators wore inflatable frog and banana costumes, while holding signs to show their disapproval of Trump\u2019s use of ICE to implement mass deportations, his handling of the war in Gaza, and his party\u2019s role in the ongoing government shutdown. Mason Rhody is with the Sunrise Movement<\/a>, who said he\u2019s also concerned with the Trump administration\u2019s negative impact on the climate crisis in Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have coral bleaching, we have sea level rise. We have massive increase in the pollution of our lakes. Florida is actually number one in the. Country for most polluted lakes. We are number two for most polluted estuaries. We are literally on the front lines of climate crisis and we have to respond to it, or else everything that we\u2019re seeing the coral bleaching, the dying of the mangroves, the flooding of the Keys, all of that is only going to get worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is an upcoming town hall on climate impact this Saturday at the Downtown Public Library in Orlando<\/a> at 1 p.m. on the 3rd floor in the Albertson room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sign reads: “The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.” –…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12360,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[5885,238,1877,3852,3647,139,141,140],"class_list":{"0":"post-12359","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-orlando","8":"tag-climate-change","9":"tag-gaza","10":"tag-ice","11":"tag-no-kings","12":"tag-no-kings-protests","13":"tag-orlando","14":"tag-orlando-headlines","15":"tag-orlando-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12359\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
