Gray skies and intermittent drizzle did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of those who attended the Warren version of “No Kings National Day of Mobilization” demonstration during the noontime hour Saturday, June 14, on Child Street.

The anti-Donald Trump protest was one of eight held around the state and one of thousands planned across the country, coinciding with the president's parade marking the United States' Army's 250th anniversary and recognizing Flag Day taking place in Washington D.C. the same afternoon, which was also happened to be Trump's 79th birthday. The event was also show of dissent against the Trump's administration's immigration policies and its disputes with courts.

The Warren Police Department estimated up to 200 people were in attendance at the height of the rally in town, which lined both sides of Child Street from the cross-streets of Turner and Cole nearly all the way to Main despite the day's dreary weather conditions.

Several there flew American Flags and held signs, some appropriately reading "No Kings" while others read "Defend Democracy" and "Democracy over Dictatorship." One read "Orange Lies Matter," referring to the tone of Trump's face often times due to make-up the president wears in contrast to his natural skin.

According to published reports from around the nation, an estimated 4-6 million people attended the "No Kings" rallies while approximately 250,000 viewed the parade and/or participated in related events in D.C.
