Watch live: 'No Kings' protests expected across US
Organizers for a second "No Kings" protest say they are expecting thousands to participate in what they describe as a peaceful event at the state Capitol in Olympia. There are several rallies planned throughout the Puget Sound area, as well as across the nation this weekend, following up on the first protest earlier this year.
Thousands gather at the No Kings March and Rallies across Western Washington
On Saturday, demonstrations against President Donald Trump's administration were held in numerous U.S. cities, including several locations across Seattle and Washington state.
The backstory:
Back in June, there were multiple "No Kings" protests in western Washington that happened the same day as a military parade in Washington, D.C., organized by President Trump.
Seattle police said at the time that tens of thousands of peaceful protesters came out and used their voices. There were multiple rallies that day, part of a national demonstration critical of the president and his policies.
Big picture view:
This weekend will once again be a protest of the Trump administration. Organizers say his increasing authoritarian moves and attacks on Americans' constitutional rights are key concerns. Supporters of the president, including the speaker of the House, have criticized the event even before it happens.
What they're saying:
"They're playing games with real people's lives," said Speaker Mike Johnson on FOX & Friends. "The theory we have right now: They have a ‘hate America’ rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's all the pro-Hamas wing and the ANTIFA people; they're all coming out."
Speaker Johnson went on to say Democrats are purposefully letting the government shutdown continue until after Saturday's event.
Organizers of the "No Kings" rally said nonviolent action is a core principle of their event, and they are committed to keeping all members of the community safe. Some events also mention that they will include local groups advocating for climate action, detained immigrants and Palestinian causes.
