A third round of \u201cNo Kings\u201d protests will be held this weekend in the Lehigh Valley and around the country.<\/p>\n
The demonstrations against President Donald Trump, scheduled for Saturday, follow similar protests over the past year, including ones held in October and June.<\/p>\n
Organizers of the \u201cNo Kings\u201d movement wrote on their website that families are \u201cunder attack\u201d and costs are \u201cpushing people to the brink.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration\u2019s 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,\u201d the website states.<\/p>\n
The last \u201cNo Kings\u201d protests in October drew more than 7 million people across all 50 states, according to organizers.<\/p>\n
