Another nationwide protest against the Trump Administration entitled “No Kings” is slated for Saturday, and local organizers are once again coming to a busy intersection East Cobb.
Indivisible Cobb will be staging a protest at Roswell and Johnson Ferry roads starting at 2 p.m., following a similar rally in downtown Atlanta.
“We are planning an inclusive, safe, and fun time while addressing a profoundly serious subject–Trump and this administration claiming powers they do not have, launching one unconstitutional action after another. The citizens of Cobb County and this country are saying ‘Enough.’ We are coming together, peacefully and with one voice, to register our opposition,” said Stacey Parlotto of Indivisible Cobb.
What’s being called “No Kings 2” follows June protests that drew several hundred people to the East Cobb event.
Indivisible Cobb describes itself as ” a local, grassroots, non-partisan group dedicated to building community. We organize around progressive ideals that honor our basic human dignity and resist the oppressive policies coming out of the current administration.”
Other groups involved in the protests include the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Federation of Teachers, Human Rights Campaign, League of Conservation Voters and MoveOn.
