Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to participate in “No Kings” demonstrations nationwide and throughout western Pennsylvania on Saturday.

“We’ll be gathering Pittsburghers to stand up and say that America is a democracy, they want their right to vote, they want their right to their elected officials, they want to be represented in their decisions, and we don’t want their fellow Americans punished for it,” Director of Indivisible Pittsburgh Tracy Baton said.

Millions across the country took part in “No Kings” protests back in June.

“Our challenge in Pennsylvania is because our senators have not been listening to the people,” Baton said. “[They] are not holding town halls, not interacting with people. We need a way to speak our voice, we have to be in the street.”

There will be about a dozen demonstrations across multiple counties in western Pennsylvania.
