A third round of “No Kings” protests will be held this weekend in the Lehigh Valley and around the country.
The demonstrations against President Donald Trump, scheduled for Saturday, follow similar protests over the past year, including ones held in October and June.
Organizers of the “No Kings” movement wrote on their website that families are “under attack” and costs are “pushing people to the brink.”
“We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence. America does not belong to strongmen, greedy billionaires, or those who rule through fear. It belongs to us, the people,” the website states.
The last “No Kings” protests in October drew more than 7 million people across all 50 states, according to organizers.
The following demonstrations will be held Saturday in the Lehigh Valley and the surrounding areas:
• Office of Rep. Ryan Mackenzie 1125 S Cedar Crest Blvd. in Salisbury Township, noon to 2 p.m.
• Bethlehem Rose Garden 725 Eighth Ave. from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
• Emrick Boulevard and William Penn Highway, Bethlehem Township from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
• Centre Square Circle, Easton from noon to 2 p.m.
• 15 Day St., East Stroudsburg from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
• Triangle Park, Quakertown from noon to 2 p.m.
More than 100 political groups, including the ACLU, Indivisible and MoveOn, have partnered for the demonstrations. Additional information may be found at nokings.org.
Hundreds of people attended the “No Kings” demonstrations held in October in the Lehigh Valley. Earlier demonstrations held in the region in June drew more than 1,000 people.
