Description
"Take the streets!" No Kings activists marching across the bridge from Arlington into DC chanted as they advocated for early voting against the GOP in the midterm elections.
"We're not stopping traffic, otherwise we will make arrests," a Park Police officer said.
"No Kings" protesters sang and performed music as they marched past the newly gold-plated "The Arts of War and The Arts of Peace" statues toward the Lincoln Memorial.
The No Kings activists oppose the construction of a Trump-planned "triumphal arch" here as well.
"Stop Trump!" chanted the protesters at the Lincoln Memorial. "Vote, vote!"
"The point of today is to make sure we are all voting!" an organizer explained, adding that those who haven't already voted should make a plan to do so. "It is our right, it is our responsibility, and with out vote we will have change!"
