Sacramento, Roseville to host No Kings protests

(FOX40.COM) — As the government shutdown continues, many are taking to the streets on Saturday to share their opinion on the U.S. government for the No Kings protest.

According to the No Kings organization, the term and the movement come from the notion that “America has No King.”

Around 2,000 demonstrations are expected to be held across the nation, including major cities like New York, Los Angeles and the state capitol, Sacramento, according to The Hill.

“Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and bigger. ‘NO KINGS’ is more than just a slogan; it is the foundation our nation was built upon,” the organization said. “Born in the streets, shouted by millions, carried on posters and chants, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.”

Saturday’s protest will also consist of a demonstration outside of the National Capitol in Washington D.C., a difference from the last protest on June 14, which is President Donald Trump’s birthday. The Hill stated that protesters were not allowed at the capitol as Trump said anyone protesting against the military parade would be met with “very big force.”

Protestors in Sacramento will have a parade to the protest beginning at 9 a.m. from Sutter’s Fort to the State Capitol.

The protest will take place at 10 a.m. on the west steps and end at noon.

Roseville will also have a protest from 10 a.m. to noon at the Roseville Galleria.

The No Kings organization reminded the community that they are committed to non-violent action.
