POCATELLO – Two cities in eastern Idaho will join with more than 2,000 others in 18 days to protest the actions of the U.S. executive branch of government.

Both Pocatello and Idaho Falls have registered protests on NoKings.org for its national day of action, scheduled for Oct. 18, protesting the policies of President Donald Trump’s administration. A local organizer in Pocatello said that while the president has tagged protestors as “dissidents and people on the far left,” that description doesn’t reflect reality.

“As I look out on the people that come to these protests, I see primarily a lot of older people … We had one person who was 98 years old showing up. So there’s a wide variety of people there, and they’re not wild-eyed terrorists. They’re just local citizens who care about their country, who love their country,” said Elmer Martinez, a local organizer of the protests.
