Multiple ‘No Kings’ protests scheduled for Saturday in metro Atlanta

More than 30 “No Kings” rallies are scheduled to take place across Georgia this weekend, including several in metro Atlanta cities such as Atlanta, Smyrna, Canton and Tucker.

The demonstrations are part of a movement that began in June, when large crowds gathered peacefully to protest policies linked to President Donald Trump’s administration. Organizers say the events aim to oppose immigration policies, cuts to health care and education, and rollbacks of environmental protections.
