'No Kings' Michigan Protests
Thousands of Michigan residents attended protests in Grand Rapids, Charlevoix, Muskegon, Ferndale, Petoskey, and more than 50 other Michigan cities for No Kings protests, Saturday, June 14. No Kings was a nationwide day of defiance against President Donald Trump and his administration. It took place on Flag Day and Trump's 79th birthday, and was set against the background of the president’s military parade through the heart of Washington, D.C.
Protests across Michigan brought out a range of diverse voices from different communities, demanding respect for personal rights. Songs, stories, speeches and chants blended into a powerful call for change.
‘It’s a protest not just against Trump but a protest against the Republican Congress that bows to him and does anything he wants to do,‘ Grand Rapids protestor Joel Hyde said.
