Newport No Kings II – Photo Essay

Today in Newport, Oregon, roughly 1,200 people assembled as part of the nationwide No Kings II protest. According to organizers, nearly 7 million people turned out for more than 2,700 demonstrations  held across the nation, with at least one in every state. Thirteen rallies were held in Oregon coastal communities.

In Newport, protestors lined both sides of the Pacific Coast Highway from the intersection with U.S. Route 20 to just south of Newport City Hall. 

From the No Kings website:  

“They are targeting immigrant families, profiling, arresting and detaining people without warrants. Threatening to overtake elections. Gutting healthcare, environmental protections, and education when families need them most. Rigging maps to silence voters. Ignoring mass shootings at our schools and in our communities. Driving up the cost of living while handing out massive giveaways to billionaire allies, as families struggle.

“The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty.”
