More than 100,000 demonstrators showed up to New York City’s “No Kings” march on Oct. 18, the New York City Police Department estimated.
The march kicked off at Times Square and ended near 14th Street. No Kings’ website estimates that more than 7 million protestors took to the streets at more than 2,700 events in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and cities worldwide to say: “America has no kings, and the power
belongs to the people.”
Here are scenes from the start of the march:
