People in Pittsburgh, Greensburg and Sewickley joined a nationwide series of protests Saturday dubbed the No Kings movement to object to President Donald Trump’s policies, including deployment of military guards in U.S. cities.
The protest in Pittsburgh, set to start at 12:30 at the City-County Building Downtown, was scheduled to include speeches and then a march to Mellon Square where various allied groups were to have displays set up.
A protest also is planned for noon at the Westmoreland County Courthouse in Downtown Greensburg.

It is the second such nationwide series of protests under The No Kings banner, following up on one in the summer.
In June, protests in Pittsburgh, Greensburg and Cranberry also used the No Kings name to voice opposition to Trump and his administration’s policies.
