Protest Against Trump Administration To Be Held In Pottstown

POTTSTOWN, PA — A "No Kings" event protesting President Trump's administration will be held in Pottstown this Saturday, March 28, organizers announced, as part of what they're calling a "sustained national resistance to tyranny."

It's one of thousands set across the country this week, the third round of the nationally coordinated protests which previously took place last June and October.

The event is set for 10 a.m. to noon at 51 S. Hanover Street.

There will also be a larger event shortly after, held at the Montgomery County courthouse steps from noon to 1:30 p.m.

"When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option," organizers said. "We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence."

Specifically, protests are targeting ICE enforcement actions characterized as "brutality" by organizers, as well as other actions by Trump deemed authoritarian.

Ambler, Audubon, Phoenixville, Pottstown, Lansdale, Harleysville, West Chester, and Pennsburg are among the other towns that have protests planned.

The local event is being put together by Community for Change, one of numerous grassroots groups brought together by the national organization Indivisible.

In the first sets of No Kings protests last June and October, millions of people demonstrated against what they say are authoritarian policies of President Donald Trump. The first round of protests last summer were held on the same day as the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade on Trump’s 79th birthday.

Protests will be held Saturday in every state in the country, with events planned in most major U.S. cities, as well as in Canada and Mexico. Protests are designed to be a peaceful day of action, according to the No Kings website.
