Town Topics' Front-Page Coverage of October 18 "No Kings Day II" Rally

An estimated 5,000 turned out at Princeton's Monument Park for the "No Kings Day II" Rally.

Rev. Moore was quoted several times for the article.

"Comparing last weekend’s event to Princeton’s June 14 No Kings Day, Moore, who presided over both rallies, observed, 'There was more passion on Saturday, more of a sense that this country is going in the wrong direction. It’s getting worse instead of better since June 14.'

Noting the current deployment of American soldiers in American cities, Moore cited studies indicating that U.S. society will continue to trend towards autocracy 'unless we the people stand up to it and reverse it.'

He continued, 'This time people felt more deeply that this problem is not going to quickly or easily resolve itself. Enough of us need to keep doing these kinds of actions. Instead of standing back, we have to stand up. We can’t let Trump intimidate us into being too afraid to do what we think is right.'

Amidst the grim current situation he sees in this country, Moore expressed optimism in response to the No Kings rally and other resistance to the administration’s actions. 'I was encouraged to see that some reputable news outlets are saying that this was the largest mobilization in 50 years,' he said. 'When Trump sees that, I think it’s going to give him pause. There will be more pressure building. This is going to keep happening.'"
