"In a press release, organizers listed a few of their key concerns: that ICE's "secret police" are "profiling, threatening, and disappearing people," that the Trump administration is defying the courts, that voters are being disenfranchised through "gerrymandering and voter suppression," that officials are "ignoring" mass shootings, and that President Trump's "billionaire allies" are being enriched at the expense of everyday Americans."
"She spoke to thousands who marched from the Common to City Hall Plaza, decrying the Trump administration and Elon Musk. This year, as she cruised to a second term, Wu effectively positioned herself as an outspoken opponent of Trump and his allies. Recently, she rebuked Attorney General Pam Bondi in a high profile debate over Boston's "sanctuary" laws. The Trump administration responded by suing the city, setting the stage for a potentially elongated legal fight."
A 'No Kings' protest will take place on Boston Common on Oct. 18 from noon to 3 p.m., with demonstrators gathering near Beacon and Charles streets. Organizers list concerns including ICE's "secret police" allegedly profiling and disappearing people; claims the Trump administration is defying courts; voter disenfranchisement through gerrymandering and suppression; official inaction on mass shootings; and enrichment of President Trump's "billionaire allies" at everyday Americans' expense. Major organizers are the ACLU of Massachusetts, Indivisible Mass Coalition, and Mass 50501. Parallel 'No Kings' events will occur across Massachusetts and nationwide. Mayor Michelle Wu will headline the Boston rally and has taken public stances opposing Trump policies, including a rebuke of Attorney General Pam Bondi and the city's ensuing legal dispute with the administration.
