People from cities across Utah, including Ogden, Kanab, Logan, Cedar City, and St. George came together for what they’re calling “No Kings” protests. Demonstrators using the protests to oppose what they believe is President Trump’s power grab.

Thousands of attendees packed Library Square at the University of Utah on Saturday morning for the first of two ‘No Kings’ protests being held in Salt Lake City. A second protest is underway at Pioneer Park.

The protests are part of the “No Kings” movement, with other protests planned nationwide set to coincide with the planned celebration of the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday and President Trump’s 79th birthday.
