Another 'No Kings' Protest Against Trump Administration To Be Held In Alexandria

ALEXANDRIA, VA — A second round of "No Kings" protests against the Trump administration will include an event in Alexandria.

Activist group Indivisible Do Something Alexandria will host the “Hands Across Alexandria”protest, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Oct. 18.

According to the group, an estimated 1,200 Alexandrians will participate by lining the sidewalks along northbound Route 1 between Powhatan Park and Potomac Yard. The group encourages attendees to sign up in advance.

Indivisible Do Something Alexandria says it is intended to be a "peaceful protest against Trump's illegal and authoritarian actions." City Council members, state delegates and congressional representatives have been invited but not confirmed to attend.

"As the Trump regime continues to assault our Alexandria community — disappearing immigrant neighbors, villainizing federal workers, and crushing free speech — we are lining the street to loudly and fearlessly declare that there are No Kings in America," said protest spokesperson Tess McEnery.

After the Alexandria event, protestors will be encouraged to take the Braddock Road or Potomac Yard Metro to the national No Kings protest in Washington, D.C., from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Lincoln Memorial.

A second "No Kings" event will be held Saturday, from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Market Square, 300 King Street, Alexandria, VA.

The second event follows June 14 "No Kings" protests that drew millions across the U.S.
