A Marblehead No Kings rally is being held on Saturday, Oct. 18, 4-5 p.m. at the corner of Maple and Lafayette streets. The public is invited to bring signs to this peaceful gathering. The League of Women Voters of Marblehead is a co-organizer. (Note: The weekly No Kings sign-holding standout at this site will continue after Oct. 18, but at the new time: 4-5 p.m.).
“The Oct. 18 national protests are in reaction to this administration’s continued move toward authoritarianism and concentration of power,” according to Kathy Leonardson of The LWV Marblehead. Protests are being held across the North Shore and Boston area.
All No Kings events adhere to a shared commitment to nonviolent protest and community safety and all organizers are trained.
The League of Women Voters of the U.S. is a partner in the national No Kings Day of Peaceful Protest, joining the ACLU, American Federation of Teachers, Common Defense, Sierra Club. Common Cause, Stand for Science, 50501, Indivisible, Human Rights Campaign, League of Conservation Voters, National Nurses United and others. The League of Women Voters is nonpartisan with respect to candidates and parties but advocates on behalf of League policies and positions.
