Stanford鈥檚 sign, which read 鈥淣o dictator no king,鈥� included photos of his son Devon and granddaughter Aria. The Easton resident said he鈥檚 gravely worried for the future of his family.

鈥淭his world is coming to a crumble,鈥� Stanford said. He added that the landscape of the current federal administration is the 鈥渨orst I鈥檝e ever seen it.鈥�

Hundreds of local residents like Stanford lined Dover Street on Saturday morning as part of Easton鈥檚 鈥淣o Kings鈥� protest, one of thousands of demonstrations across the nation to object President Donald Trump and his actions since taking office in January.

The protests, promoted as peaceful, were coordinated by an extensive network of progressive organizations to coincide with a military parade hosted by Trump in honor of the Army鈥檚 250th birthday.

In Easton, protesters staged from the corner of Dover Road and Route 50 down the Dover Street sidewalk to the corner of South Harrison Street. They received frequent honks of support from vehicles passing by. A handful of drivers and passengers contested the protesters verbally, though no major incidents occurred and there was largely no police presence.

Talbot County Democratic Central Committee members Justin Butler and Jair Devereaux led parts of the protests and engaged crowded sidewalks of protesters in chants.

Phil Jackson, chair of the Democratic committee, said in a written statement that the 鈥淣o Kings鈥� theme rejects authoritarianism and defends democracy.

鈥淭albot County knows its history 鈥� we鈥檝e seen what happens when silence replaces action,鈥� Jackson wrote. 鈥淭oday, we chose action. With over 500 people lining E. Dover Street, peacefully protesting, it鈥檚 a clear and emphatic rejection of strongman politics, dynastic privilege, and the erosion of our democracy.鈥�

Many protestors cited concerns about cuts to Medicaid and Trump鈥檚 continued immigration crackdown efforts as their motivation for attending.

One Easton resident named Steve, who declined to provide his last name, said he鈥檚 particularly upset about the administration鈥檚 actions against immigrants and diversity, equity and inclusion policies.

鈥淭hey鈥檙e still chasing the American Dream, whether it exists or not,鈥� he said of the nation鈥檚 immigrants.

Roseann Newell, an Easton resident of more than 40 years, said she had every reason to come out and protest the Trump administration.

鈥淲hat didn鈥檛 bring me out today?鈥� Newell asked.

St. Michaels resident Paulette Florio said there鈥檚 a 鈥済overnment of tragedy happening.鈥�
