More than 8 million people showed up across 3,300 No Kings protests on Saturday, calling for an end to the war in Iran, immigration agents in their communities and what they see as Trump’s creeping authoritarianism. And there is not one way to fight it,” said Leah Greenberg, a co-executive director of the Indivisible Project, which founded the No Kings movement. The boycotts and picketing, in which protesters stood outside of businesses and held signs, created jobs for Black workers during the Depression. In 1985, UC Berkeley students demanded the university divest from South Africa in protest against apartheid. The teach-in boosted the national anti-war movement and inspired other campuses to protest and hold teach-ins of their own.
