Richmond will host one of over 2,000 planned protests nationwide against the actions of the Trump administration Saturday, when local and state residents gather in the city for the No Kings II event.

The protest is being organized by local and state groups including RVA Indivisible and Virginia 50501 and will begin at 1 p.m. at the Capitol with a rally and speeches before a march at 2 p.m. to Monroe Park. 

Other protests are set to be held throughout the day in Virginia and across the country. Saturday’s event will follow a No Kings protest held in Richmond in June and a rally on Presidents Day that saw residents from across the state gather and march in large numbers. 

“Richmonders will add their voices to those of fellow Americans gathering in more than 2,500 protests across the country,” RVA Indivisible and 50501 stated in a news release announcing the protests. 

The weeks leading up to the protest have been filled with preparation by the No Kings organization and its partners, including training sessions on safety, de-escalation, engagement and other protest matters. 

Those interested can find more information on the protest and other events, and register to participate, at nokings.org.
