Tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians turned out for Saturday’s historic ‘No Kings’ demonstration.

Over 20,000 Philadelphia-area residents turned out for Saturday’s “No Kings” demonstration in the City of Brotherly Love with dozens of other rallies also taking place across the state.

It was a festive, party-like atmosphere among a series of nationwide demonstrations against President Donald Trump and his administration.

There were over 60 “No Kings” demonstrations throughout Pennsylvania, with thousands also attending rallies in Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. Across the country there were over 2,600 demonstrations with more than 5 million people in attendance according to organizers.

“The American people are not accepting what’s happening in DC in this unbelievable power grab and they’re exercising their first amendment rights to say they don’t like it,” US House Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Pennsylvania) told The Keystone in an interview.

She added, “People should come out to these rallies. It’s really important that people express their opinions and let their elected officials know how they feel about what’s happening.”

Here’s a look at some of our favorite photos and signs from Saturday’s rally in Philadelphia and warning, some of these aren’t safe for work.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Pennsylvanians and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at The Keystone has always been to empower people across the commonwealth with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Pennsylvania families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
