Two of Los Gatos’ busiest streets bustled louder than usual as hundreds of protesters turned out for No Kings demonstrations and drivers honked at them in support.

“No Kings” day started in June on President Donald Trump’s birthday as a way to protest “his authoritarian power grabs,” according to the organizers’ website. On Oct. 18, nationwide No Kings protests were planned to protest Trump’s orders to send the National Guard and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers into U.S. cities and his policies gutting healthcare, environmental protections and education. The movement spanned over 2,700 events in all 50 states and involved over seven million people, according to the No Kings website.
