On Saturday, Mar. 28, people from across Orange County gathered in Chapel Hill to participate in the third ‘No Kings Day,’ protesting against the actions and policies of President Donald Trump’s second administration. Demonstrators brought signs, wore costumes, and chanted as they made their way from 140 W. Franklin Street to the Carrboro Town Commons, where they gathered for a rally.
Here is our photo gallery from the event, featuring images both from our team and community members:
