Assessing the Success of Salt Lake City's 'No Kings' Protest
Organizers of Salt Lake City's second "No Kings" protest have reflected on the event's outcome and are looking ahead to future actions.
The protest, which took place on October 18, aimed to create a peaceful atmosphere in front of the Utah Capitol, where attendees could express their opposition to President Donald Trump and his administration.
Organizers, including Jamie Carter, were aware of the pressure to ensure a safe and peaceful event, given the history of political violence in Utah, including the deaths of Afa Ah Loo and Charlie Kirk.
Organizers were aware of two deadly instances of political violence in Utah — the June 14 death of fashion designer Afa Ah Loo, who was participating in a No Kings march when he was hit by an errant shot from an armed security guard; and the Sept. 10 killing of political activist Charlie Kirk during a rally on the Utah Valley University campus in Orem.
