Nearly 2,000 people gathered at Key West’s Bayview Park and lined Truman Avenue for the island city’s No Kings rally on March 28. Nationwide, more than 3,100 events drew 8 million people to what would become the largest, single-day, nonviolent protest in U.S. history, according to No Kings organizers.
In Key West, locals and visitors — all unpaid protesters — held signs embracing diversity, condemning autocracy, defending immigrants, criticizing ICE, protecting voting rights and celebrating the U.S. Constitution. One sign used President Donald Trump’s own words against him. Above an unattractively altered photo of the president were the words, “Quiet, Piggy,” echoing the president’s outburst aboard Air Force One in November, when a female reporter asked him a question about the Epstein files.
