The Berks County Democratic Committee hosted a No Kings protest on March 28 in Northeast Reading that attracted several thousand people who came together to make their voices heard — joining millions throughout our country and beyond.
Kudos to the Reading Police Department for their professional and courteous assistance in making sure our protest was safe and peaceful. Their cooperation with our organizers from the planning stages through the duration of the entire event was a model of community partnership.
We want to publicly acknowledge the Reading police whose understated but vigilant presence at the protest site allowed all of us to safely express our First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and assembly.
