The one man “No Kings” protest at Nisqually Wildlife Refuge
While the No Kings protests of October gathered millions, one Washington man staged his own.
On Oct. 18, a reported 7 million Americans took to the streets to participate in a “No Kings” protest to voice their discontent with the Trump administration, with protests happening across all 50 states.
Some of these gatherings in large cities such as Boston and New York City included an estimated 100,000 participants. But at Nisqually Wildlife Refuge, Andrew Mobley protested alone.
“The people who visit the refuge could be a tree-hugging wildlife lover or they could be some conservative gun owner who hunts ducks in Texas. All of us can agree that we’re not going to have ducks to look at or even hunt if we don’t protect them.” -Andrew Mobley
Mobley staged his protest on the federal property of the wildlife refuge and directly under the flagpole flying the stars and stripes, with his poster that read, “A great nation keeps its promises.”
When asked about what gives him hope in this moment of uncertainty and chaos, Mobley said, “every time we’ve had one of these crises, our country has come out better. I have to have some optimism that we can do better.”
