This weekend, thousands joined 'No Kings' protests in US cities against the current administration's policies and unilateral coercive measures against Cuba. Events occurred across all 50 states, with over 3,300 activities scheduled. In Italy, around 300,000 people rallied for world peace.
The demonstrations, the third in less than a year, gathered crowds with signs condemning the US's illegal wars, demanding an end to authoritarianism, fascism, and immigration policies terrorizing the population.
In Minnesota, Bruce Springsteen performed 'Streets of Minneapolis,' dedicated to Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two Americans killed by immigration agents. Senator Bernie Sanders attended and criticized the government's violent policies.
In Times Square, New York, crowds assembled, including activists recently returned from Cuba after joining the Our America Convoy to Cuba, delivering material aid to Cubans suffering from the oil embargo following an executive order issued at the end of January.
In Italy, over 700 organizations took part, bringing together around 300,000 demonstrators for world peace and support for Cuba, Venezuela, Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran. "This is, above all, a march against the logic and culture of war, demanding peace, putting people's needs back at the center, and stopping this dangerous authoritarian culture that is emerging," said Maurizio Landini, leader of the General Confederation of Italian Workers.
