LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA \u2014 A second series of \u201cNo Kings<\/a>\u201d protests against President Donald Trump’s administration will take place around the country on Saturday, with a demonstration planned in Morrisville.<\/p>\n

Over 250 organizations<\/a>, including Indivisible, the American Civil Liberties Union, Human Rights Campaign, and Social Security Works have collaborated to organize a national mass mobilization of protestors who object to the disruptive and damaging policies of the Trump Administration.<\/p>\n

More than 2,500 of these “No Kings” protests are being planned around the United States and the world. <\/p>\n

The Morrisville protest will involve concerned citizens, candidates and elected leaders from Bucks County. They will gather at 1 p.m. Saturday in Williamson Park in Morrisville.<\/p>\n

The protest’s speakers include State Sen. Steve Santarsiero, several 2025 row office candidates, civil rights advocates, and Bucks County Commissioner Bob Harvie. This rally is hosted by Indivisible Bucks County and Yardley Indivisible.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump and his enablers have hurt working Americans, terrorized our immigrant communities, and overreached their constitutional authority,\u201d said Laura Rose, event emcee and co-leader of hosting organization Indivisible Bucks County. \u201cWe must all stand up to this betrayal of American values and ensure the rights of all are upheld. We will join our voices in peaceful opposition to Trump\u2019s actions and priorities, and display our support for the foundational principles of equality, freedom, and constitutional checks and balances.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event is expected to include signs with messages reading \u201cNo Kings\u201d and \u201cBenefits Over Billionaires,\u201d a 20-foot-tall inflatable Elon Musk to accompany the signage, and a life-size image of U.S. Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n

No Kings is a coalition of numerous progressive and pro-democracy organizations led and coordinated by the national organizing group Indivisible<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the first No Kings protests in June, millions of people peacefully demonstrated against what they say are authoritarian policies of President Donald Trump. The protests were held on the same day as the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade on Trump\u2019s 79th birthday.<\/p>\n

At least 2,000 protests will be held Saturday in every state in the country, with demonstrations planned in most major U.S. cities, as well as in Canada and Mexico. Protests are designed to be a peaceful day of action, according to the No Kings website.<\/p>\n

A large gathering planned on the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol drew the ire of House Speaker Mike Johnson, who told Fox News<\/a> Friday that although he is \u201ca very patient guy,\u201d he has \u201chad it with these people.\u201d<\/p>\n

He called the Saturday protest a \u201cHate America rally\u201d staged by \u201call the pro-Hamas wing and the antifa people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re all coming out,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n

Protestors\u2019 ranks are expected to be swelled by laid-off federal workers who won\u2019t get a paycheck until the federal government reopens or who may lose their jobs entirely.<\/p>\n

The American Federation of Government Employees urged members of its 900 local unions to join No Kings protests<\/a> as well. Together, the locals represent more than 820,000 workers in almost every federal agency of the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe protest movement has taken on new urgency with the government shutdown that began Oct. 1,\u201d the union said in an Oct. 6 statement.<\/a> \u201cShutting down the government is another authoritarian power grab by this administration, which has threatened to lay off mass numbers of furloughed federal workers as part of an ongoing quest to gut federal programs and services the administration finds objectionable.\u201d<\/p>\n

No Kings said demonstrators this weekend are expected to protest a variety of administration policies, including immigration enforcement by masked agents and the disruption of migrant families, congressional map gerrymandering, health care and higher costs of living.<\/p>\n
