The local factions of Saturday's "No Kings" movement used the Baltimore Running Festival to make a political statement. They mixed in with the crowds who were cheering runners and are upset with President Trump's actions and policy decisions. No Kings protestors seemed to be everywhere on Saturday, at a pride parade in Annapolis and at several events across Baltimore County. They are denouncing what they fear is rising authoritarianism at the white house. The rallies started as early as 7:30 a.m. Saturday at the Baltimore Running Festival. Hundreds of people used the festival as a backdrop as part of a nationwide protest of current white house policies, including immigration enforcement, National Guard deployment to U.S. cities, and funding cuts. WBAL-TV 11 News spoke with Jacki Gilbert, a protester at one of the many events on Saturday, "We don't want fascism here in the United States. We love our country, and I want to make sure there is health care. I want to protect the immigrants in my neighborhood. They are my friends. They are my neighbors. We need to stand together," Gilbert said. Many of the protestors wore costumes, and some were equally creative with signs. Protestor Beth Braun created a crossword puzzle that grew larger with each new policy change coming from the white house.
