The second "No Kings" protest in Salt Lake City has concluded, and organizers are reflecting on its outcome and future steps for supporters.
Organizers, including Jamie Carter, aimed to create a peaceful atmosphere at the Utah Capitol on October 18 to protest President Donald Trump and his administration.
They were aware of the pressure and the risk of violence, given two recent instances of political violence in Utah: the death of fashion designer Afa Ah Loo on June 14 and the killing of political activist Charlie Kirk on September 10.
Organizers were under pressure to ensure a peaceful protest.
Now that the protest is over, organizers are looking ahead to what supporters can do next to continue their efforts.
