#NoKingsScranton #NoKingsDay
People at a protest sitting and standing at a monument. Some are wearing animal and frog suits. Protestors at No Kings rally standing in front of a monument on a lawn in the city A person in a chicken suit stands next to a protestor holding a sign "No Kings, No Dictators" with 2 flags on it, one upside down, and in the middle is a picture of a cartoon frog with an anti-fascist slogan. The top of the sign has a drawing of a crown with a red X over it. A man stands in front of a stone building on a courthouse lawn. He's playing an acoustic guitar and people are around him. On the left side, one is holding a green sign urging the release of the Epstein files and asking what is Trump trying to hide. There are several flags being held and a few other signs.
