Assessing the Success of Salt Lake City's 'No Kings' Protest
The second "No Kings" protest in Salt Lake City has concluded, and organizers are reflecting on its outcome and planning future actions.
According to Jamie Carter, one of the organizers, the primary objective was to create a peaceful atmosphere at the Utah Capitol on October 18, where people could protest against President Donald Trump and his administration.
Organizers were aware of the risks, given two recent instances of deadly political violence in Utah: the death of fashion designer Afa Ah Loo on June 14, who was hit by an errant shot during a No Kings march, and the killing of political activist Charlie Kirk on September 10 during a rally at Utah Valley University.
The goal was to create an atmosphere where people could come together peacefully.
Supporters can look forward to future actions and continue to make their voices heard.
