In a dozen protests across Long Island, one rallying cry resonated throughout crowds of thousands: “No kings! No crowns! No fascism!”
The No Kings rallies across Nassau and Suffolk counties in protest of President Donald Trump were part of a wave of demonstrations that swept the nation on June 14. Rallygoers from Orient Point to Port Washington voiced passionate opposition to federal agents rounding up immigrants, what protesters say is rising authoritarianism, political corruption, and misuse of taxpayer funds. The protests coincide with Flag Day — also Trump’s 79th birthday — for which the president held a $40 million military parade.
