Both Austin and San Antonio are slated to host their own iterations of No Kings Day protests on Saturday, March 28. Here’s what to know about the demonstrations.<\/p>\n
In the Texas capital, organizers said they are working in tandem with other protests heads across the country in an attempt to make it the “largest protest day in American history,” writing: “Tu lucha es mi lucha.”<\/p>\n
“Silence is not an option when our families are under attack. From Iran to Venezuela to our own streets, the costs of this administration’s cruelty fall on real people,” the event description read in part. “That’s why we need you. We’re not watching history happen \u2014 we\u2019re making it.”<\/p>\n
Austin’s protest will begin at Austin City Hall at 1 p.m. on Saturday before marching southward toward Auditorium Shores, located at 900 W. Riverside Drive, Austin, TX 78704. The event is slated to run until around 4 p.m., according to the sign-up page.<\/a><\/p>\n Further south in San Antonio, hundreds are expected to take part in the city’s third No Kings Day rally, with the initiative describing itself as a national pushback against tyranny, fascism and controversial administrative policies regarding immigration control, foreign affairs and other issues.<\/p>\n “When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration\u2019s unjust and cruel acts of violence,” protest organizers wrote.<\/p>\n
