Editor’s Note: An attendee and her husband who walked the venue reports: “We counted around 900. I know a lot of people had been there earlier and already left so I’m sure it got decently over 1000 during the day.
Loveland, Ohio – A thousand Loveland Area residents with a hundred grievances lined a 1/3 mile stretch of Loveland Madeira Road centered in front of the Loveland Primary/Elementary school campus and Shoppers Haven on Saturday afternoon. Not since the Loveland Tigers won the State Division II football championship in 2013 had so many united for a cause. Hundreds more honked horns, showing support as they drove past the rally.
On the same day that tanks and artillery launchers rolled through Washington D.C. on the Army’s 250th anniversary, the day that President Donald Trump turned 79 and wanted a national birthday party for himself, local organizers had called for a “No Kings” rally in Loveland.
The organizing rallying cry was, “NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.”
FOX News reported that “millions of people were said to have turned out at “No Kings” protest marches in nearly 2,000 cities across the U.S.”
Alt National Park Service reported last night, “We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in.”
