A liberal political advocacy group is organizing a third rally against the policies of President Donald Trump since last summer for this Saturday in East Cobb.
A “No Kings” event will take place from 12-2 p.m. at the intersections of Roswell Road and Johnson Ferry Road.
Indivisible Cobb has dubbed the intersection “Freedom Corners” and said in a release that the East Cobb event is one of many around the country to “loudly demonstrate that millions of Americans have had enough of [Trump’s] royal aspirations.”
In the release, Stacey Parlotto of Indivisible Cobb repeated many of the group’s complaints about Trump of being an “unpopular president, pushing unpopular policies” and now in the context U.S. and Israeli military action against Iran.
“Now we are fighting an undeclared war of choice, without the aid of allies, and where the justification changes by the hour,” she said.
The first East Cobb “No Kings” rally took place last June, and another was held last October, both without incident.
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.”
The “No Kings” coalition was formed after Trump’s re-election in 2024 and includes the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Federation of Teachers, Human Rights Campaign, League of Conservation Voters, Amnesty International, League of Women Voters, National Organization for Women, Planned Parenthood Action Fund and MoveOn.
Another “No Kings” rally is scheduled Saturday for 3 p.m. at the Marietta Square.
