About 100 Participated In Secaucus No Kings March, See Photos

SECAUCUS, NJ — About 100 people participated in the No Kings march/protest Saturday evening in Secaucus, according to organizers.

The protest march started in front of the library and walked down to the gazebo in the center of town, where 8-10 people spoke. These No Kings marches were held across the country against President Donald Trump and the actions of his administration, including ICE deportations, the U.S.-led war with Iran and other decisions by Trump.

The protest was organized in part by Fletcher Harper, the pastor of Our Saviour Episcopal church on Flanagan Way.

"We walked from the library down to the gazebo in the middle of town," Harper said Monday. "There were 101 people who marched, and 8-10 people spoke eloquently about their concerns about the state of the country."

According to Harper, the only incident that happened during Saturday's protest was when well-known Secaucus resident Alfred Viggiano tried to drive up "to harass us, but the police intercepted him," said Harper.

(Viggiano is the same man accused of harassing two men outside that same church earlier this month; he is charged with bias intimidation for allegedly making derogatory comments about a rainbow flag outside the church. Viggiano is due in court next Tuesday, April 7 for the bias intimidation incident at the church.)

In South Orange-Maplewood, an estimated 3,000 people participated in the No Kings march there Saturday. And about 1,000 people attended the one held in Brookdale Park in Montclair.

In response to the marches, Trump denied he is “king” and has said he “works his ass off to make our country great.” The president has dismissed the protesters, saying that they don’t represent the majority of the country.

“The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective and the people were whacked out,” Trump said last October when similar No Kings protests were held.
