No Kings Protest Against Trump Draws Thousands In Westport

WESTPORT, CT — Westport again held an energetic No Kings protest rally downtown on Saturday, drawing thousands for the third such event in less than a year.

Crowd estimates were not immediately available, but protesters again lined both sides of the Ruth Steinkraus Cohen Bridge on Route 1.

Additionally, throngs gathered on Jesup Green to hear from speakers, such as Congressman Jim Himes, and Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas.

Hundreds of people carried signs against President Trump, with some dressing up in costume to protest against the Iran war, the immigration crackdown, the lack of transparency about the Epstein files, and the perceived depths of corruption throughout the Trump administration.

Similar No Kings protests were held in June and October last year in Westport and throughout the country, drawing millions nationwide. Saturday's rallies were expected to out-draw the estimated 7 million that turned out in October.
