Gilroy, other small towns gearing up for big day of 'No Kings' protests Saturday
Gilroy will be among the more than 2,000 cities participating in Saturday's "No Kings" protest.
"I think there are a lot of people out there that are feeling isolated, alone and afraid of what's happening in our country and our community," Cammie Brown said.
"It's not about the angry rabble-rousing, as much as it is asking our neighbors, 'what is it you're missing or hoping to get out of this administration?'" Whitney Pintello said.
Brown and Pintello are protest organizers with Women for Action Voice and Equality.
They've held smaller rallies throughout the Trump presidency, but they're expecting around 200 people for the "No Kings" protest Saturday.
"We're seeing our rights, we're seeing the structures that are put in place to support democracy being torn apart, actually," Brown said. "We look at what's happening - we're Americans, we're patriots and we care about this country and our community here in Gilroy."
That's why "No Kings" protest organizers emphasize peaceful demonstrations.
