As people of the nation become more polarized in the United States, a group of liberal activists is planning to hold another series of No Kings Protests in places all over the country, including right here in Western New York.

The second No Kings Protest in Buffalo, just over five months ago, drew thousands of Western New Yorkers to downtown Buffalo to rally against what many consider to be harmful actions by President Donald Trump and his administration.

This time around, with the war in Iran, along with ever-increasing energy prices and overall affordability. With yet another Federal government shutdown causing unnecessary pain for millions of Americans from sea to shining sea, there are several people who think this latest protest is well overdue.

What Do You Need To Know About Buffalo's Latest No Kings Protest?

According to the NYCLU, protesters are expected to rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.

Masked secret police terrorizing our communities. An illegal, catastrophic war putting us in danger and driving up our costs. Attacks on our freedom of speech, our civil rights, our freedom to vote. Costs pushing families to the brink. Trump wants to rule over us as a tyrant. But this is America, and power belongs to the people - not to wannabe kings or their billionaire cronies.
