For the third time this year, members of the community lined City Park to voice their grievances as part of a national “No Kings” protest.
The two-hour event was put together by IndivisibleMHK, the Manhattan branch of a nationwide advocacy group. Attendees said the event aimed to create a space for citizens to demonstrate what patriotism means to them.
“IndivisibleMHK joins with other national and local organizations … to demand an end to the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration,” according to a release from the group.
