EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The Borderland is gearing up as the second “No Kings Day” of the year will take place this weekend.
Millions of protesters, with around 2,000 rallies across the country, are expected to peacefully take to the streets on Saturday, Oct. 18, to send one message: “America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people,” according to the movement’s official website.
The rally in El Paso will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, along Edgemere and Airway boulevards in East-Central El Paso.
Over in Las Cruces, it will happen from 9 a.m. to noon at Albert Johnson Park, 896 N. Main St.
As KTSM previously reported, the first protest of the year happened on June 14 as a way to counter a large military parade in Washington, D.C. that was being held to celebrate President Donald Trump’s birthday and the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army.
This time, the movement’s website stated that the rallies will be held to protest against “chaos, corruption, and cruelty” by Trump and his administration.
