PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) – Numerous protests for “No Kings” are expected across the Coachella Valley on Saturday, including in Palm Springs. Courageous Resistance of the Desert and Indivisible of the Desert are hosting the rally at Sunrise Park.
Organizers wrote in a press release statement that the rally is “a reminder that America rejects Authoritarian rule.” Attendees and organizers say the event is a call to action, opposing “dictatorship, corruption and cruelty,” according to the release.
