Thousands, including many dressed as frogs, rally against Trump at Atlanta No Kings protest
Thousands of people gathered Saturday in Atlanta as part of the No Kings rallies taking place nationwide, where speakers sounded the alarm against the potential for authoritarian rule under the Trump administration.
Speakers, which included prominent Georgia political figures and leaders of civil rights and advocacy organizations, described the current climate as a move away from democracy. It was a noticeable shift in tone from the No Kings events in June, when organizers warned of some of the administrations undemocratic behaviors, such as hosting a military parade coinciding with President Donald Trumps birthday.
Former Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams framed the political battle as a fight over the nations direction.
It used to be that we were all headed to the same destination. We just had different routes, Abrams said to the crowd. We may have a different way to get there, but the route we were going to take was democracy
but on the other side, they decided that the route they wanted to take was not democracy, but authoritarianism.
