An estimated 2,000-plus people gathered for Women's March Rockford's "No Kings" protest, a march and rally held June 14 at the City Market Pavilion. They carried signs. They clamored for change. And when ACLU Coordinator Kathleen Dingle called them to send a loud message to Washington D.C. that "Rockford will have no king," they roared.

Millions of people turned out for "No Kings" protests nationwide on Saturday that were largely peaceful though there were some arrests and police had to disperse unruly crowds, including in Georgia and Los Angeles.

Thousands of people protested on June 15 in cities across the country against President Donald Trump’s policies.
