Protesters gathered in Diamond Park on Saturday, Mar. 28, for a demonstration organized by French Creek Indivisible against the Trump administration and war in Iran. The event was part of the ‘No Kings’ protest series, with over 3,300 locations hosting similar demonstrations across the country that day. The ‘No Kings’ protests have been held in thousands of locations across the country since they began on Jun. 14, 2025. (Milo Watson)
