About 30 Friends gathered at Fifteenth Street Meeting to make signs and eat pizza before the start of the No Kings Day protest and march on Saturday, June 14. They then travelled to the protest gathering site (Bryant Park) which was packed full of people. A Friend reported it taking an hour and a half to walk two blocks. The rain and crowds didn't prevent our Friends from loudly speaking out for democracy and human rights — a very American action.
