Do not be surprised if you encounter a protest or two on Saturday as area Democrats participate in events throughout the peninsula.
Of the approximately 2,500 events planned across the country for the No Kings day of protests, more than 60 are planned for Wisconsin including ones in Juddville and Algoma. The two rallies are spaced out during the day with Algoma holding theirs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Juddville’s taking place from 2 to 3 p.m. According to the USA Today, the No Kings protests are to celebrate the First Amendment and provide a platform to speak out against the current administration. The Democratic Party of Door County has held pop-up protest events throughout the county since the first No Kings Protest took place on June 14th.
Meanwhile, area Republicans gathered in De Pere for the National Day of Remembrance for noted conservative Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in Utah during a college speaking event in September. In addition to leaders from county Republican parties and faith-based institutions, speakers included U.S. Reps. Tony Wied and Tom Tiffany, former Governor Tommy Thompson, and former Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch.
