Protesters crowd downtown Flagstaff as part of nationwide ‘No Kings Day’ rally

Posted inDemocracy, Diversity, Education, Events, Immigration, local, news
FLAGSTAFF — With some local media reporting a crowd topping 3,000, Flagstaff residents and Northern Arizona visitors alike turned out in mass for one of the largest rallies in the city in recent memory during the "No Kings Day" mass protest held Saturday, June 14 in front of Flagstaff City Hall. The large crowd came in spite of near mid-summer temperatures approaching 90 degrees, and added personal safety vigilance as a result of deadly political violence earlier in the day in Minnesota. The protest nationwide was organized by the 50501 movement with the local effort hosted by Indivisible Northern AZ. Opponents of the Trump administration crowded the sidewalks from starting at 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. A sizable crowd of protestors also filled the opposite side of the street up to the Flagstaff Train Depot.

In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.

In-State Tuition Policies for Undocumented Students Change Lives. I Should Know—Mine Changed for the Better The Texas Dream Act was signed into law in 2001, years before I ever walked across the stage at my high school graduation in 2014. I was five, maybe six at the time, probably watching Barney and playing with Barbies, completely unaware that a policy signed by then-Governor Rick Perry would one day allow me to attend college.
