Back in June, the No Kings protests were clocked as one of the largest single-day protests in American history, bringing nearly 5 million people to the streets in 2,150 locations. Redmond was among them, along with several other cities in Central Oregon. On Oct. 18, Redmond residents are planning yet another action. Like the last one, the Oct. 18 protests are a demonstration against what organizers say is the authoritarianism of President Donald Trump.
Redmond’s event takes place from 10 to 11:30am at the Freedom Hub at 732 SW 6th Street in Redmond. Redmond’s protest is organized by Indivisible Redmond.
“As President Trump continues to use the US military as a political weapon to threaten Portlanders, we are standing up again to push back against his hateful, authoritarian actions,” Jen Laverdure, an Indivisible Redmond spokesperson, stated in a press release. “Our peaceful day of action is going to bring together Oregonians from all walks of life who share a simple message: We don’t do kings in America.”
No Kings Day protests are planned in the spirit of nonviolent demonstrations.
“Organizers are trained in de-escalation and are working closely with local partners to ensure peaceful and powerful actions nationwide,” Indivisible Redmond detailed in a press release.
Other actions around Central Oregon on Oct. 18 include a protest at Drake Park in Bend from 2 to 3pm before moving to the Peace Corner at Greenwood Avenue and Wall Street from 3 to 4:30pm, one in Sisters from 10 to 11am at Wild Stallion rally corner, one in Prineville from noon to 1pm at Pioneer Park, one in Madras from 2 to 4pm and one in La Pine from Noon to 2pm. A full list of planned protests is available at nokings.org.
