CHARLOTTE, N.C. โ “In America, we have no kings.”
Those are the words driving the No Kings movement, as organizers take to the streets across the Carolinas Saturday.
Protesting the direction of the country under President Donald Trump, people are gathering in North and South Carolina, the nation’s capital and communities across the United States for “No Kings” demonstrations.
This is the third mass mobilization since Trump’s return to the White House and it is expected to be the largest.
