The Weekly Catch

Organizers behind the local ‘No Kings’ protest this weekend, and why the Providence NAACP is practically shut down


Listen Later

his Saturday, the United States Army celebrates its 250th anniversary. Trump is honoring the day with a military parade - the first such event since the end of the first Gulf War in 1991. Millions across the country are expected to hold “No Kings” protests in response. We’ll talk with organizers of two local protests. Also, the Providence NAACP is practically shut down. The president and all the officers were suspended by the national NAACP. We’ll get an update. And for Artscape we meet local artist Jordan Seaberry. He has a new web comic called “WTF can artists do during a fascist takeover?” Plus, Ian Donnis takes a look back on the week in Rhode Island politics and we have a few recommendations for things to do this week.

The post Organizers behind the local ‘No Kings’ protest this weekend, and why the Providence NAACP is practically shut down appeared first on TPR: The Public's Radio.
