About 250K 'No Kings' protesters march through downtown Chicago to denounce Trump, organizers say
Chicago was one of dozens of cities nationwide that held "No Kings" protests Saturday. A quarter of a million people marched through downtown, organizers said.
Looming over the tapestry of flags and homemade signs undulating across the lawn of Grant Park on Saturday were two that stood higher than the rest. Robert Ryan, 61, had meticulously fashioned both a “NO KINGS” flag — complete with an angry red X crossing out a crown — and the signature Chicago flag atop a 15-foot pole.
Organizers said the protest against the Trump administration is expected to draw tens of thousands downtown, while similar events are planned across the region and nationwide.
The first "No Kings" Chicago protest was held in June in Daley Plaza and drew tens of thousands of demonstrators. Saturday's protest has been moved to Grant Park, a larger area that can accommodate more people.
Two major gatherings—one political, the other artistic—are set to unfold hours apart in downtown Chicago. Hear about traffic closures, times and more.
