No kings in America since 1776!
In South Florida, at least 25 鈥淣o Kings鈥� protests are planned as part of similar demonstrations across the country. It鈥檚 the third scheduled protest of its kind since President Trump took office.
Speaking at a news conference Thursday, Sarah Parker, a National Coordinator for 50501 and executive director of the Voices of Florida Fund, said protesters have added the "illegal war" in Iran on its list of issues with the Trump administration, along with its opposition to enforcement tactics of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

"Every single time we have a new No Kings, there's something else happening. It is consistent. Our neighbors are being executed," Park said. "We have ICE at airports. This moment is different because there's an illegal war in Iran. We are saying no Kings in America for a reason."
In Coral Springs, protesters were to gather at the corner of Sample Road and University Drive to call out ICE and its aggressive enforcement efforts.
鈥淔amilies in Florida are living under fear because ICE continues to violate rights, ignore due process, and target people who have done nothing wrong," said Jenn Bakowski of Joyful Resistance, a group that organized protester in Coral Springs.
"We鈥檙e gathering to show that real authority comes from community, not from an agency that routinely breaks the laws it claims to enforce," Bakowski said. "Stand with and for your neighbors this Saturday to demand an end to the funding of the domestic terrorism of ICE.鈥�
Deirdre Schifeling, the chief political and advocacy officer for the American Civil Liberties Union, said there's a responsibility to resist.
"Peaceful resistance is the antidote to repression, and it's the antidote to the despair and powerlessness that repression is trying to make us feel," she said.
