Demonstrations are planned across Riverside County Saturday as part of a nationwide “No Kings” Day protest of immigration enforcement and other federal policies.
The largest gathering in the county is expected in Riverside, where a rally is scheduled from noon to 2 p.m. at Riverside City Hall, 3900 Main St., according to organizers.
The event is one of thousands planned in communities across the country, including throughout Southern California.
The organizers will call for the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump and the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“The president thinks his rule is absolute,” according to the No Kings website. “But in America, we don’t have kings — and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger. `No Kings’ is more than just a slogan; it is the foundation our nation was built upon.”
