Hopkins students joined community members at North Charles Street and University Parkway as part of a nationwide day of protest against the Trump Administration on Sat. March 28.
Photo 1: On Saturday, March 28, hundreds of Baltimoreans gathered at the intersection of North Charles Street and East University Parkway to join 7 million Americans across the nation who were protesting for “No Kings.”
Photo 2: This is the third nationwide No Kings protest since the inaugural “day of defiance,” when President Trump’s 79th birthday celebration coincided with a national military parade on June 14th.
Photo 3: Several cars honked in support of the peaceful demonstration, with some drivers raising fists and waving American flags in solidarity.
Photo 4: “Donald Trump has got to go!” was rallied by crowds along with the sound of drums.
Photo 5: “Within the context of imperialism [in the] United States, this is just one example of people who are suffering,” a demonstrator named Nancy said.
Photo 6: “This! People out participating, people making their feelings known, not having billionaires decide everything,” said Mary Fissell, Inaugural J. Mario Molina Professor of the History of Medicine.
Photo 7: “[Democracy is] actually having a choice and our government listening to us when we say what we want and what we need,” remarked Erys, a trans and queer Baltimore resident.
Photo 8: “Because this country does not belong to kings, dictators, or tyrants. It belongs to We the People — the people who care, who show up, and who fight for dignity, a life we can afford, and real opportunity,” according to No Kings website.
Photo 9: “You know, I'm lucky in that I'm middle class, but every time I go to the grocery store, I think about the people who barely afford anything anymore, and the knock on costs of the ridiculous war,” said Fissell.
