Flyers are being distributed by a group calling itself “Belleville Area Friends Indivisible Fights Back!” announcing an anti-Trump demonstration from 3-5 p.m. on Saturday, June 14, at Harris Park, 10101 Belleville Rd., Van Buren Township.
The demonstration will be on the sidewalk on the east side of Belleville Road with a welcome desk in the park and “fun tools” for the kids.
The flyer suggests people could park in the nearby shopping center away from customer entrances.
The event is called “No Kings Belleville!” and stresses, “The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump, it belongs to us.” It says the demonstrations across the nation will be everywhere he isn’t to say, “no throne, no crowns, no kings.”
Organizer Linda Priest said the recent rally in Canton had 2,500 people and it was peaceful and went off well. She said there is a commitment to nonviolent action here as well.

So sad you cannot go to the park on Saturday without being surrounded by a political event. As a taxpayer in Van Buren Township I feel I should be able to take my family or dog there without This rhetoric. Let them protest at the township hall. I also don’t feel I should have to leave my email to make a comment!
So sad you cannot enjoy the park this Saturday without Being surrounded by a political event. As a Van Buren taxpayer I feel I should be able to go to the park with my family or dog without this political rhetoric. Let them protest at Van Buren Township offices and not in our city park. This is shameful. Also I don’t feel I should have to leave my email to make a comment.
Is there another March planned ?
