Los Angeles, CA—Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43), Ranking Member of the Financial Services Committee, led thousands of peaceful protestors across the Los Angeles area on Saturday, for No Kings Day.

In the city of Hawthorne – the Congresswoman’s District – near Elon Musk’s SpaceX headquarters, Congresswoman Waters, along with thousands of young people, voiced their fear of a cruel and dangerous president and co-president, Trump and Musk. “Nobody voted for Elon, he was not elected, and no one wants him destroying our institutions”, said the Congresswoman.

The Congresswoman then joined an energetic crowd of thousands of peaceful protestors at Grant Park in Downtown Los Angeles to deliver a clear message to Trump: “This coun- try has No Kings and no dictators!, she said. “And I’ll continue fighting every day for the American people. Later, the Congresswoman joined hundreds of protestors on the streets of Playa Vista to denounce Trump, celebrating his birthday with a largescale military parade at the expense of the armed services. “This country rejects Trump’s would-be dictatorship”, said the Congresswoman. “This country has No Kings! The President should celebrate American greatness by ensuring all Americans are housed and fed, not by cutting the social safety net and throwing himself a birthday party with taxpayer money.”

These peaceful demonstrations were the latest in a series of efforts led by the Congresswoman to oppose the policies of the Trump administration.
