‘No Kings’ protest set for Saturday

Sequim will join cities and towns in all 50 states participating in a “No Kings” protest against the Trump administration on Saturday, June 14, according to organizers.

About 2,000 “No Kings” protests are expected to take place across the country and rallies are also planned for Britain, Mexico and Germany, according to The New York Times.

Organized by Indivisible Sequim, a political action group, the local protest is planned for noon to 2 p.m. at West Washington Street and North Priest Road.

Similar previous protests have drawn sizable crowds, so motorists may want to avoid that area.

A canned food drive is planned in conjunction with the rally. The bin for donated food will be located by the tall American flag located in the First Federal Sequim Village parking lot. All food collected will go directly to local food banks, according to indivisiblesequim.org.
