'No Kings' demonstrators unite in Boston as calls grow for tougher stance against Trump
Protesters spanning all age groups took to the streets en masse for "No Kings" rallies across the United States on Saturday, October 18, denouncing what they view as authoritarian tendencies and unbridled corruption of US President Donald Trump.
Organizers expected millions of people to turn out by day's end at more than 2,600 planned rallies in major cities, small towns and suburbs, challenging a Trump-led agenda that has reshaped the government and upended democratic norms with unprecedented speed since he took office in January.
By all accounts, the demonstrations were largely festive, often featuring inflatable characters and marchers dressed in costumes. The demographically mixed crowds included parents pushing youngsters in strollers alongside retirees and people with pets in tow.
Events in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Denver, Chicago and Seattle also drew crowds that each appeared to encompass thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people.
