Residents and activists are planning a protest later this month as part of a broader national movement calling for the protection of democratic norms.
The local demonstration, labeled "No Kings," is scheduled for Saturday, March 28, at 3 p.m. at the High School Park in Elkins Park, located in Cheltenham Township.
Organizers say the gathering will be a community-focused rally where participants can hold signs, chant, and show support for democratic institutions.
The event is connected to the nationwide “No Kings” movement, which has organized demonstrations across the country in recent years. Supporters say the protests are intended to push back against what they describe as authoritarian tendencies in American politics and to reaffirm the importance of democratic governance.
Organizers say the rally will be peaceful and family-friendly. Participants are encouraged to bring handmade signs and noisemakers.
This protest is part of the planned nationwide on March 28. Similar events are expected in cities and towns across the country.
