Indivisible Las Vegas to host No Kings rally, march at federal courthouse downtown
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — A coalition of progressive groups is planning a series of rallies across Southern Nevada on Saturday, including a downtown Las Vegas event that organizers say will focus on unity and resistance.
Indivisible Las Vegas will host “No Kings Las Vegas” in partnership with 19 other local and state progressive groups.
Organizers say people all over the country and world will join up for a day of unity, resistance, and resolve against a corrupt, incompetent regime acting illegally and unconstitutionally.
No Kings Las Vegas is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. downtown at the Federal Courthouse. Speakers and performers are expected to deliver messages about building community, equality, diversity, and empathy.
The event will include a march and is set to end at 7 p.m.
