Voices from Albany No Kings Rally October 18, Part 1

Millions of Americans are turning out for more than 2600 No Kings protests nationwide on October 18 to protest abuse of power and authoritarian rule by President Donald Trump and his administration, including his immigration crackdown and his sending troops into American cities. In the Albany area, thousands lined Western Avenue for many blocks near Fuller Road. In part 1, we hear from a number of the participants including Albany County Legislator Merton Simpson; labor activist Doug Bullock; Congressmember Paul Tonko; anti-poverty advocate Anne Erickson; and, environmentalist Tina Lieberman. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
