Thousands of No Kings protesters gather in downtown Akron
Ariel Bruegman-Hykes and her 17-year-old daughter, Javen Dale, were two of an estimated 3,000 protesters who showed up with their signs, chants and car horns at a third No Kings protest in downtown Akron Saturday. “Everybody says that one voice doesn’t make a difference, but when you get all the voices together, it does make a difference and people can see it,” Bruegman-Hykes said.
