Thousands fill Camden waterfront for third "No Kings" rally
CAMDEN, NJ (SBN) — Thousands of citizens bearing humorous signs, posters, papier maché puppets, flags and banners poured into Wiggins Park on the waterfront here Saturday for the third “No Kings” protest against the administration of Donald Trump.
Activists mainly from the political left chanted slogans like “This is what democracy looks like!” and “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Donald Trump has got to go!” as they marched from Camden City Hall to the park under sunny but chilly March skies.
Marchers enjoyed DJ dance music on the waterfront, and mingled with volunteers from a wide range of activist projects, including the Democratic Socialist Party of America’s South Jersey branch, citizens working to block the purchase of a Roxbury, NJ, warehouse for use by ICE as a detention facility, and other immigrant rights supporters educating participants about their due process rights.
Here’s a gallery of some of the signage on display at the No Kings Rally.
State and local political leaders also addressed the crowd, which enjoyed basking in the sun on the sloping hill leading down to the Delaware River. US Senator Andy Kim, First Congressional District Rep. Donald Norcross, and Camden Mayor Victor Carstarphen spoke, along with Camden County Commissioner Director Louis J. Cappelli, who announced to cheers that Camden County-owned property was off-limits to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
SBN News Director Steve Lubetkin attended the rally and filed this report.
