CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) — “No Kings” Protests are set to occur once again this Saturday nationwide, marking the third time since President Donald Trump took office. But this time, there will be two events locally — No Kings Charlottesville and No Kings Forest Lakes.

Indivisible Charlottesville will be holding the Charlottesville rally for the third time, after drawing an estimated 7,000 demonstrators at the first event in June then 10,000 in October. Saturday’s event will take place from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and stretch from U.S. 29 North from Hydraulic Road to Greenbrier Drive.

“We’re expecting it to be bigger,” Indivisible executive committee member Kristin Szakos told Cville Right Now of this Saturday’s event. “It certainly feels bigger. The buzz in the community is stronger. I feel like a lot more people that I talk to just sort of on the street are planning to be there.”

In contrast, No Kings Forest Lakes will take place off of Profitt Road from 2-4 p.m. While this Saturday will mark the first time the event will officially be a part of the national No Kings Protest, the event began as an informal gathering of residents in the Hollymead area. The effort was started by Doug Hiller with help from Warren Muse, who is running the logistics for Saturday’s event. He told Cville Right Now he expects 400 people. Muse said attendees can expect a smaller event in every aspect except for “individual emotions and intensity.”

“I think that people showing up for this one are going to be just as motivated, just as fired up for what we feel are some of the outrages going now with this administration [as] the people at Stonefield,” he said. “It’s just a different place.”

The organizers of each event have been in contact with each other during their respective planning processes, with each event’s times set to ensure there is only a half-hour overlap. Some of Indivisible’s organizers are even planning to attend the Forest Lakes event as well.

“They’ve been keeping up a steady ‘No Kings’ presence up there near Hollymead,” Szakos said.

Even with the new event in Albemarle, expectations for Charlottesville’s event are still high. The protest will feature a number of performers, information tables, a family-friendly space, a dance/movement space and giant 11-foot puppets.

“It’s a protest, but we’re also trying to make it a celebration of what we love about an inclusive democracy,” Szakos said.

A recreation of a protest statue featuring Trump dancing with Jeffery Epstein is also expected to be displayed at the event, the anonymous artists behind it told Cville Right Now earlier this month.

For those looking to attend, Szakos encouraged them to join the protest from either side of the designated route. Unlike the previous two events, Indivisible is no longer suggesting one specific spot for attendees to gather.

“Really, anywhere along that whole route is as good as any other,” Szakos said. “We want to be visible to the street because we want people driving through to see us, but we also want to be in community with each other, so there’s no better spot than another.”

For those looking to attend the Forest Lakes event, Muse said he and the safety monitors will be wearing yellow vests and gathering people in front of the now-closed Walgreens. He encouraged potential attendees not to block any entrances to the nearby businesses, and stressed safety as a main priority of the event.

“We’d really like to stress that people stay out of the roadway,” he said. “Avoid crossing 29 – there’s no crosswalk at that intersection. It’s a busy intersection.”
