FLAGSTAFF — With a crowd easily exceeding the 3,000-plus protesters on the previous No Kings Day protest in June, northern Arizona residents and visitors loudly shared their emotions about the state of the nation’s Democracy during the “No Kings Day of Action” rally on Oct. 18 in front of Flagstaff City Hall.

Organized locally by Indivisible Northern Arizona and supported by a variety of local groups, opponents of the Trump administration crowded the sidewalks from Wheeler Park and Humphreys Street along Route 66 around the curve to Milton Road, filling the grassy area up to the Flagstaff City Hall sign.

Unlike previous rallies, a sizable crowd of protesters also held up their signs on the opposite side of Humphreys and on Route 66.

While detractors said the anti-Trump rallies were made up of aging hippies, radical leftest and those who hate America, it appeared protesters came from all walks of life, from the very young to parents and seniors, many waving American flags.

Besides the usual No Kings signs, a number of the Flagstaff protesters sported blowup costumes featuring pandas, dinosaurs and other creatures as part of a theme of protests seen nationwide.

“On October 18, more than 7 million of us rose up at more than 2,700 events in all 50 states, DC, and cities worldwide to say: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people. Join us on October 21st at 8PM ET to talk about what comes next,” national Indivisible organizers reported on Saturday. “REGISTER FOR THE CALL”
