Hundreds of protests planned this week across the country, in Massachusetts, Fall River, against Trump Administration

Hundreds of protests are planned across the country this week, including in Fall River.

No Kings Mass Protests are in response to those against the Trump Administration.

The volunteer organized event states as follows:

“In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.

“On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.

“The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

“On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Check out nokings.org for more information.

“A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.”

The Fall River protest is set for public sidewalks and grassy areas at the intersection of William S Canning Boulevard and Newton Street from noon to 2:00 p.m.
