Organizers Say 6,000 At ‘No Kings’ Rally In Arlington Heights

Thousands gathered for “No Kings” protests throughout Chicago and the suburbs Saturday (June 14), with an estimated 6,000 in Arlington Heights proclaiming, “No kings in America.”

The Arlington Heights demonstration was organized by a new group, Indivisible Elk Grove Township, and featured 10 speakers including several elected public officials.

“We had an incredible lineup of speakers headlined by U.S. Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi and State Rep. Mary Beth Canty, State Rep. Nicole Grasse, Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison and Jesse Rojo (Illinois Veterans for Change), among others,” said Indivisible Elk Grove Township chapter founder Lynne S. (who said she would not provide her last name due to security reasons).

Organizers credited support and cooperation from Arlington Heights village officials and police to help mount the large yet peaceful event.

“This is our first event and we are thrilled at how it came together, but we’ve only just begun and we won’t stop until governmental injustice ends and democracy is fully restored,” Lynne S. said.

The new Indivisible Elk Grove Township chapter was founded in May.
