See photos of KC’s massive No Kings protest: Signs, crowds & inflatable costumes

Massive crowds — estimated to be in the thousands, according to organizers — gathered in Mill Creek Park and marched through the Country Club Plaza on Saturday afternoon in the third installment of the No Kings protests.

Protesters chanted in the streets, holding signs decrying President Donald Trump, ICE, the Epstein files and more.

Organizers with Indivisible KC, who put on the protest, say No Kings 3.0 was the largest one so far.

“There are no words to express my gratitude for all of the people who showed up today, said Beverly Harvey, a spokesperson for Indivisible KC. “It was just overwhelming.”
