HOUGHTON – Hundreds of people gathered at the BridgeView Park on Houghton’s Lake View Drive Saturday for a No Kings rally before marching across the Portage Lake Lift Bridge.

The No Kings rally, according to the Copper Country League of Women Voters’ October newsletter, was in support of democracy. This rally was not unique.

National Public Radio reported on Saturday that demonstrators across the U.S. took to the streets on Saturday to protest the policies of President Trump. The marches are part of the No Kings movement, which has accused the president of behaving more like a monarch than an elected official.

The rally began at Noon in Houghton with a series of speakers, the final one was Keweenaw Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Pastor Bucky Beach, who wore a paper Burger King crown.
