But if that’s too centralized, don\u2019t worry\u2014you\u2019ve got choices.<\/p>\n Where and when are the No Kings protests in L.A. this weekend?<\/p>\n

\n<\/ul>\n What to know about the No Kings protests in L.A.\u00a0<\/p>\n In total, local organizers say there are roughly 80 actions across the greater L.A. area this Saturday, from big rallies to flash mobs, picket lines and \u201cteach-ins.\u201d\u00a0Expect the aesthetics to lean protest-festival: signs, chants, drums and creative energy. \u201cWhat this is about is everybody coming together and demonstrating\u2014we don\u2019t do kings in America,\u201d Indivisible\u2019s executive director Ezra Levin told MSNBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n But don\u2019t forget: The memory of June\u2019s protests<\/a> still looms. That day in L.A., demonstrators were largely peaceful until clashes broke out near federal buildings, triggering use of tear gas and flash bangs.<\/p>\n If you’re thinking of going, here\u2019s quick advice: Try to arrive early, stay informed about route changes, bring water and sun protection and stick close to groups you trust. And yes, expect a heavy law enforcement presence. National Guard or not, city and county agencies have pledged extra patrols.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n So whether you want full spectacle or something local and low-key, L.A.\u2019s got options. Pick your time, pick your place\u2014and bring your voice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Get your calendar ready, Angelenos\u2014the second wave of No Kings protests lands Saturday, October 18, and greater\u00a0Los Angeles…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":312515,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,10336,2961,224,5337,10337,1072],"class_list":{"0":"post-312514","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-categories-things-to-do","11":"tag-la","12":"tag-los-angeles","13":"tag-losangeles","14":"tag-news-city-life","15":"tag-things-to-do"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115393310233297155","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312514\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
