AUSTIN, Texas - Thousands of protesters will take to the streets nationwide, including right here in Central Texas. It's part of the nationwide "No Kings" movement.

The event runs from 2-5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18.

"We're creating a space where everyone can come out on Saturday, meet other people, stand in solidarity, get their energy out, and direct their energy, their anger, and their frustration at productive organizing they can do on an ongoing basis to actually help their community," said event organizer, Sophia Mirto.

The protest is organized by "Hands off Central Texas", an Austin-based civics and first amendment nonprofit.

"The last No Kings Day here in the heart of Texas, we had 20 to 25,000 people come out. And Saturday, we're expecting 20 to 30,000," said Mirto.
