Thousands of demonstrators attended the downtown St. Louis “No Kings” protest on Saturday. The nationwide day of protest served as a platform for people to express their dissatisfaction with numerous policies of the Trump administration. The protest was one of thousands taking place across the country and drew an estimated two million Americans. The peaceful demonstration began at Kiener Plaza, though protestors took to the streets and marched through the central business district.
