Thousands of Southern Californians mobilized on Saturday in participation of “No Kings” rallies that have been organized across the country in opposition to the Trump administration.
A follow-up to the same-named rally that was held over the summer, the “No Kings” march serves as a mobilization effort to show discontent with President Donald Trump’s policies. Organizers are encouraging participants to voice their opinions on “the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration.”
According to organizers, 5 million people participated in the rally that was held on June 14. Saturday’s mobilization included more than 200 rallies in California.
In a social media post on Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom urged participants to exercise their right to protest non-violently.
“Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY,” Newsom said in a post on X. “Protect yourself and your community. THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.”
In downtown Los Angeles, thousands of participants descended upon Gloria Molina Grand Park, where demonstrators danced, marched and voiced their opinions.
