Politics Happy “No King’s” Day, Phoenix!!

Good morning fellow Arizonans! I’m proud of all my fellow American’s protesting today. Let’s see your signs, pics and videos! Post here to spread the love and inspiration. We are in this together. United We Stand. NO KINGS! 🇺🇸

Remember to keep things peaceful and kind, both on the streets are on this thread.

We had a sizable group in N. Phoenix. There was A LOT of community support - plenty of people doing loops and honking. A lot of thumbs up and peace signs and general support for the protest. The police were there, but they were just chilling and driving by every few minutes. It was an impressive show of solidarity against fascism. 👍🏻

It was so nice to see! Living in North Phoenix in a very red neighborhood, I feel so utterly alone sometimes. It was good to see like minded people in my part of town.

Seriously, we need to have a blue friendly area in north Phoenix. My husband and I love a good dive bar but my god, the amount of trump fanatics is sickening. Can we start a game night or blue pub crawl or something??

Due to health issues, we weren't able to get out to the protests, but seriously if there are other opportunities to get together with like minded people where there is no chance of getting arrested, I'll be there!
