The One Man "No Kings" Protest
A student news magazine for UW Tacoma reported on a unique protest held by Andrew Mobley at the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge.
One day after a mass anti-Trump protest across the United States, Mobley shared pictures of his action on the Tacoma subreddit community, explaining the intent behind his sign and the location of his protest.
A week later, Mobley spoke with The Ledger about his solo protest, which was part of a larger movement where a reported 7 million Americans took to the streets to voice their discontent with the Trump administration.
- Protests were held across all 50 states, with large cities like Boston and New York City seeing an estimated 100,000 participants.
- Mobley chose to protest alone at the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge to bring attention to the suspended Migratory Bird Act of 1918, which prohibited the killing or harming of migratory birds.
