"New York City's about to turn yellow this Saturday, October 18, as "No Kings Day" marches return to the streets. The nationwide movement-born on President Trump's birthday back in June-calls for mass, peaceful demonstrations against what organizers describe as his increasingly authoritarian grip on the country. Last time, tens of thousands braved the rain to fill Manhattan; this weekend's forecast is for more of the same energy (but hopefully less humidity)."
"The anchor event will start in Times Square 's Father Duffy Square from 11am to 1pm, likely drawing the biggest crowd under the billboards. From there, uptown momentum continues in Morningside Heights, with a rally at West 125th Street and Amsterdam Avenue from 1pm to 2:30pm. In Brooklyn, Grand Army Plaza in Park Slope will host marchers from noon to 2pm-easy access, plenty of subway lines and probably a few drums."
On Saturday, October 18, coordinated No Kings Day marches will occur across all five New York City boroughs with participants encouraged to wear yellow. The anchor event begins at Times Square's Father Duffy Square from 11am to 1pm, followed by organized rallies in Morningside Heights, Park Slope's Grand Army Plaza, multiple Queens locations, Staten Island's Victory Boulevard, and Seton Park in the Bronx with events scheduled throughout the afternoon. The movement began on President Trump's birthday in June and calls for mass, peaceful demonstrations against what organizers describe as increasing authoritarianism. Organizers frame the effort as a stand for democracy and accountability and urge early arrival.
