The Beverly Hills community answered the call for nationwide protests against the Trump administration when more than 3,000 people gathered in Roxbury Park on Oct. 18 as part of nationwide “No Kings” rallies.
The crowd stretched the length of the park from Roxbury Drive to Spalding Drive along Olympic Boulevard. Attendees from across the greater Los Angeles area came out to demonstrate against President Donald Trump for acting, as they believe, as an authoritarian monarch. Protesters held signs that read “The power of the people is greater than the people in power,” “I love democracy” and “No king but Billie Jean King.” Chants of “Show me what democracy looks like. This is what democracy looks like” and “Hey, hey. Ho, ho, Donald Trump has got to go” rang out from the crowd. Drummers and other musicians played along to the call and response.
