Thousands Protest Trump Policies in Seneca Falls, Buffalo, Multiple New York Cities

Thousands of protesters gathered across multiple cities in New York, including Seneca Falls, Buffalo, Ovid, Canandaigua, and Williamsville, to participate in the nationwide 'No Kings' demonstrations opposing President Donald Trump's administration. In Seneca Falls, over 2,000 people filled Fall Street, aligning their protest with the timing of a military parade in Washington, D.C., commemorating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary. Buffalo saw a large turnout at Niagara Square, where demonstrators expressed concerns about threats to democracy, immigration policies, and the concentration of power in the presidency. Protesters emphasized their right to dissent and called for equality, respect for diversity, and leadership that represents all citizens regardless of political views. The protests were largely peaceful, with some tension noted when pro-Trump vehicles passed by, requiring police intervention. The 'No Kings' movement reflects a widespread and coordinated effort to resist what participants view as authoritarian tendencies in the current administration.
