Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro publicly expressed support for the national “No Kings” protests and pledged to “keep fighting” to defend democracy. The rallies, which took place this past Saturday across the country, including in Pennsylvania, protested against perceived authoritarianism and the policies of the current federal administration. Shapiro used a Facebook post to address protesters, and thank Pennsylvanians who peacefully organized. He emphasized that the right to peaceful protest is “a sacred American right”.
