Take a look at some of the signs protesters waved at the ‘No Kings’ protest in Miami
By Pedro Portal
Miami’s “No Kings” protest had an Uncle Sam, a tribute to Portland’s inflatable frog costumes and lots of homemade signs bashing the Trump administration for a host of issues.
National organizers for the “No Kings” protests, which took place Saturday, encouraged attendees to wear yellow as a sign of “collective strength in the face of oppression,” and focus on “community and joy” during Saturday’s events.
“We are pushing back against authoritarianism through community and joy,” an email to attendees across the country said Friday. “Remember that we are not only protesting an authoritarian power grab, we are building the community we need to resist for years to come.”
Here are some of the signs Miami protesters carried during the event in downtown near the Torch of Friendship.
