Havertown 'No Kings' Rally, Food Drive For Immigrant Neighbors: Here's Where, When

HAVERTOWN, PA — Another wave of No Kings protests will take place across the country on Saturday, including one in Havertown that will also have a food drive for immigrant neighbors in need.

The No Kings movement gained national attention last year when millions of people participated in coordinated protests in thousands of cities and towns. The gatherings aim to reject the policies and actions of the Trump administration.

Organizers said in a statement they expect turnout to surpass previous events. More than 3,000 events are planned in every congressional district in all 50 states, and more events are added daily. Organizers say attendance could surpass the 7 million who attended an event last October.

The upcoming demonstrations come amid heightened political tensions, including backlash over federal immigration operations and U.S. involvement in an escalating conflict with Iran.

'No Kings' In Havertown

Havertown's No Kings rally is set for 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Haverford Middle School bus lane (1701 Darby Rd.).

Organized by the Haverford Democratic Committee, the event is billed as "a visibility event for our community to come together to defend democracy and speak out against violence, injustice, and rising tyranny."

Organizers are encouraging attendees to bring an item to donate, which will support immigrant residents with resource scarcity.

Acceptable items include:

• long grain rice, 3 pounds or smaller
• dry black beans
• vegetable oil
• shelf-stable milk
• kid-friendly cereal
