No Kings Day - Poster of the Wee

Last Saturday, over 7 million people gathered at 2,600 locations across the United States to protest President Donald Trump and his administration's authoritarian policies. It was the second "NO KINGS" protest (the first took place in June), and was the second-largest protest in American History.

Today's Poster of the Week celebrates the many posters carried at this past weekend's protest, and the 7 million people who carried them with pride, courage, and determination.

In addition to posters, many protestors–inspired by Portland’s recent anti-ICE protests–donned inflatable costumes.
