"In Monona, a suburban city of around 9,000 residents just outside the capital city of Madison, around 400 people lined one of the busiest corners of the main street of the city. Protesters held signs in opposition to President Donald Trump, took part in cross-street chanting, and encouraged vehicles to honk their car horns in support - which dozens of cars did."
"While some members of the administration and other allies of the president have tried to suggest these protests are unpatriotic, the residents here would largely disagree with that charge. Monona hosts the largest (and longest-running) annual Memorial Day parade in the entire state of Wisconsin, and its Fourth of July Festival regularly draws in crowds more than five times its population size every year."
Thousands of demonstrators took part in No Kings rallies across southern Wisconsin, expressing opposition to the Trump administration and determination to build community against growing authoritarianism. In Monona about 400 people gathered at a busy main street corner, holding anti-Trump signs, chanting across streets, and encouraging passing drivers to honk in support. Monona hosts large civic events including the state's largest Memorial Day parade and a Fourth of July Festival that draws crowds far larger than the town's population. A weekly protest against the Trump administration continues at the same street corner. In Stoughton roughly 500 protesters marched along the main street.
