“Black-and-white photo of a ‘No Kings’ rally at the Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines, Iowa. A speaker stands at a podium in front of a large stone monument, with an ASL interpreter to the right. Behind them, crowds fill the Capitol steps holding signs such as ‘NO KINGS!,’ ‘Save Democracy ,’ ‘Truth Not Decay,’ and others expressing political messages. People sit and stand on the steps, listening, photographing, and holding handmade posters. The scene is energetic and densely packed against the backdrop of the Capitol building.”

Black-and-white photo from a No Kings rally at the Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines, Iowa, showing two people at the front of a group holding large protest signs. The sign on the left reads: “First Amendment — Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The sign on the right reads: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. — Theodore Roosevelt.” The Des Moines skyline rises in the background as other participants walk along the path.
