Hundreds of "No Kings Day" demonstrators showed up for the Saturday June 14 protest in Evansville.

A lecture and a protest are among events to decry what some see as dangerous overreach by the Trump Administration

At least two “No Kings” events are set for Evansville this Saturday. WNIN’s John Gibson has a preview:

The group Indivisible Evansville will host University of Evansville professor Valerie Stein at McCullough Library.

Stein is director of UE's social justice and race and ethnicities study programs. She’s also director of Journey to Justice UE.

Indivisible Evansville says Dr. Stein will discuss the impact of collective action and announce a free series of workshops that will teach local activists to effectively make change.

The event starts at 10:30 Saturday morning at McCullough.

Also on Saturday, the group Evansville Resistance is sponsoring a protest Downtown.

It starts at 1 p.m. outside the Denton Federal Building on Martin Luther King Blvd.

These events – and hundreds more planned across the U.S. this weekend -- are in response to what progressives see as dangerous overreach by the Trump Administration.

Meanwhile, many Trump supporters are decrying the planned protests, calling them anti-American.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told Fox News this week that he thinks millions of attendees will be "part of antifa” and “paid protesters."
