Thousands of ‘No Kings’ protesters demonstrated peacefully Saturday afternoon against the Trump administration at the Ohio Statehouse.
Dozens of No Kings protests took place across Ohio as part of more than 2,500 nationally. Organizers reported Saturday afternoon that nearly 7 million Americans attended the protests across the country.
“Today, millions of people showed that we, the people, will not be silenced,” said Deirdre Schifeling, chief political and advocacy officer for the American Civil Liberties Union.
The events were sponsored by more than 100 organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the League of Women Voters, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Common Cause, and Indivisible.
In Central Ohio, rallies will took place in communities such as Newark, Reynoldsburg, Marysville, and Grove City earlier Saturday afternoon.
