Organizers of the No Kings movement have announced another round of protests, expected to bring millions together across the country to non-violently oppose the actions of the current presidential administration.
On Saturday, Oct. 18, more than 30 gatherings are happening across Georgia, scheduled in cities like Marietta, Smyrna, Peachtree City, Suwanee, and Atlanta.
Scheduled No Kings events:
Atlanta: The Human Rights Campaign, ACLU of Georgia, Indivisible Georgia Coalition, and other community partners will host a stationary rally in the Atlanta Civic Center parking lot at 10 a.m.
Protestors will proceed with a march from the Civic Center to Liberty Plaza at 1 p.m. after finally receiving a permit from the City of Atlanta on Oct. 16.
“This decision marks a powerful moment for democracy and for our city,” Zach Simmons, chair of the 50501 Georgia organization planning the march, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Proof that citizens and government can work together in good faith and that the First Amendment cannot just simply survive, but thrive.”
Tucker: Tucker-based No Kings organizers will host a march, starting at Northlake Festival Shopping Center at 1 p.m. The march will leave the shopping center at Henderson Mill Road, turn onto LaVista Road, and then return to the shopping center at the intersection of Ranchwood Drive NE and LaVista Road.
