CNN field teams spoke with attendees at “No Kings” rallies across the country. Here’s what protesters had to say.
Thousands gathered at Roosevelt Park in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood Saturday for one of more than 100 "No Kings" demonstrations taking place across Michigan. The protesters delivered a unified message: no president is above the law.
The demonstrations are expected to bring thousands of Michigan residents to the streets, for the second time this year.
Nearly 100 No Kings demonstrations are planned across Michigan on October 18th to protest President Donald Trump’s policies and actions, with thousands of residents expected to attend.
Protests on Oct. 18 will be the second large-scale demonstration under the No Kings banner. Organizers estimated roughly five million joined national protests in June, with 50 events were held in Michigan alone, said Ryan Bates, spokesperson for the advocacy organization.
Protests were expected to run throughout the day Oct. 18 in Michigan in places as far as the Upper Peninsula as well as in Grand Rapids and in metro Detroit.
A second round of No Kings protests will take place this weekend in the U.S. and nearby countries, with Michigan hosting nearly 100 rallies.
The second "No Kings" protest of the year brought people back to the Michigan's State Capitol to demonstrate against president Donald Trump.
