PARK SLOPE — A LARGE CROWD IS EXPECTED to gather in Park Slope on Saturday for the “NO KINGS Park Slope” march as part of the third national day of protest against the Trump administration. The event is one of thousands nationwide. Dani Newman and Kathryn Krase of NO KINGS Park Slope said in a release that the demonstration is a “grassroots response to federal authoritarianism and a call to protect community freedoms.”

The march kicks off at 1 p.m. from Garfield Place (between Eighth Avenue and Prospect Park West), and continues south on Prospect Park West to Bartel Pritchard Square at 15th Street, where music, singalongs and chanting will continue, with no planned speakers.

In Manhattan, a much larger crowd is expected to gather at 2 p.m. at 59th Street and Columbus Circle before marching south on Seventh Avenue. Other NO KINGS gatherings are taking place in Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, according to NoKings.org.

Organizers said the protests are in response to “the ongoing consolidation of executive power, the weaponization of ICE and federal agencies, and brutal cuts to essential social services like Social Security, Medicaid, and public education.”
