On Saturday October 18th, three so called NO KINGS rallies are set to take place in Lake County. These are in response to the over reach and actions of the Trump administration.
Planned are rallies in Gurnee – 10am to 12pm, Grand Ave. and Hunt Club Rd, Highland Park – 11:00am Highland Park City Hall, 1707 St. Johns Ave and Buffalo Grove – 11:00am to 1:00pm.
Since taking office, Trump has pushed for legislation that will increase health care costs for over 20 million US citizens, extend tax breaks to billionaires and expand the debt by 3 trillion dollars. Since September, Trump through the Department of Homeland Security has sent militarized federal immigration agents into “blue” areas where they have escalated tensions with local communities. Through his arbitrary tariff regime, grocery prices have gone up and agricultural markets such as soybeans have been decimated, hurting our farmers.
Stacey Kason expects a very large turnout. “Since the April rallies, Trump has done even more things that hurt working Americans. There is massive energy in opposition,” said Kason.
