Over 250 organizations, including Indivisible, the American Civil Liberties Union, Human Rights Campaign, and Social Security Works have collaborated to organize today’s national mass mobilization of protestors who object to the disruptive and damaging policies of the Trump Administration. More than 2,700 of these NO KINGS events were held around the United States and the world and initial estimates of turnout top 7 million participants.
For this Morrisville NO KINGS event, more than 2,000 concerned citizens, candidates and elected leaders from Bucks County gathered at Williamson Park in Morrisville, PA at 1:00 PM on Saturday, October 18th for a program of speakers that included State Senator Steve Santarsiero, several 2025 row office candidates, civil rights advocates, and Bucks County Commissioner Bob Harvie. This rally was jointly hosted by Indivisible Bucks County and Yardley Indivisible.

“Donald Trump and his enablers have hurt working Americans, terrorized our immigrant communities, and overreached their constitutional authority,” said Laura Rose, event emcee and co-leader of hosting organization Indivisible Bucks County. “We must all stand up to this betrayal of American values and ensure the rights of all are upheld. We will join our voices in peaceful opposition to Trump’s actions and priorities, and display our support for the foundational principles of equality, freedom, and constitutional checks and balances.”
“Democracy isn’t about power for a few — it’s about serving the many,” said Bucks County Commissioner and Democratic Candidate for Congress Bob Harvie, “When leaders act like they’re above the law or above the people they serve, they weaken the very foundation of this country, ‘No Kings’ means remembering that no one — not presidents, politicians, not billionaires – is beyond accountability.”
“We can’t allow what President Trump is doing to become normalized,” said Pennsylvania State Senator Steve Santarsiero. “That’s why speaking out to defend democracy is so important.”

“This country was founded on the bold idea that the will of the people comes before power, and that leadership is not inherited; rather, it is earned and it is held accountable.,” said Bucks County Clerk of Courts Eileen Hartnet Albillar. “For decades our country was a beacon of hope and inspiration. We used to lead the world in human rights. This administration is not leadership — it is tyranny in disguise. We are standing up together to defend what so many fought and died for… Our dissent is our duty.”
