No Kings

Activists and labor unions are organizing street protests and boycotts across the United States, where May Day is not a federal holiday. The anti-Trump group Indivisible is calling on its supporters to join May Day Strong. That’s a coalition of activist groups and labor unions, has called on people to protest under the banner of “workers over billionaires.” Indivisible chapters in Alabama are taking part.

A south Alabama woman who took part in a No Kings rally in Fairhope last October has been found not guilty following an scuffle with police. A jubilant Renea Gamble emerged from the court room, raising her arms in victory and with a message for her supporters.

Demonstrators in Tuscaloosa carried signs reading “War is not a game,” “No Kings—No Immunity from Accountability,” and “Justice for All.”These marchers joined protesters in twenty other Alabama cities during what’s called the largest “No Kings” march event, which went international with protests in France and Italy.
