Was Salt Lake City’s ‘No Kings’ protest a success? Organizers look back, and look ahead.

Assessing the Success of Salt Lake City's 'No Kings' Protest

The second "No Kings" protest in Salt Lake City has concluded, and organizers are reflecting on its outcome and planning for the future.

Organizers, including Jamie Carter, aimed to create a peaceful atmosphere at the Utah Capitol on October 18 to protest President Donald Trump and his administration.

They were aware of the pressure to ensure a peaceful event, given two recent instances of political violence in Utah: the death of fashion designer Afa Ah Loo on June 14 and the killing of political activist Charlie Kirk on September 10.

Organizers look back, and look ahead.

Supporters can now look forward to future actions and continue to advocate for their cause.
