"Millions of Americans are expected to fill streets across the country Saturday in what organizers predict will be the largest mass protest in U.S. history. The No Kings demonstrations - stretching from Washington, D.C., and New York City to Los Angeles, Atlanta, and hundreds of smaller cities - will unite people alarmed by what they see as a rapid erosion of democracy under President Donald Trump's current administration."
"Among those scheduled to speak at the main event in Washington is Shawn G. Skelly, a retired Navy commander who served as assistant secretary of defense for readiness and force management and later performed the duties of deputy under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness in the Biden-Harris administration. She was the second transgender person ever to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate."

Skelly, a retired Navy commander and former assistant secretary of defense who served in the Biden-Harris administration and was the second transgender person confirmed by the Senate, will speak at the Washington event. Skelly serves on the Human Rights Campaign board and will appear with HRC Chief of Staff Jay Brown, who will emphasize connections between LGBTQ+ equality and democratic integrity. Skelly characterizes attacks on transgender Americans as tests aimed at weakening national institutions and dismantling democracy.
