When the No Kings Rally was first announced, a small group of residents in a senior building chose to hold their own accessible protest downstairs rather than travel downtown. They brought signs and used mobility devices to take part. Last fall the same group repeated the event and drew about 1,500 friends and neighbors along the route from Foster to beyond Berwyn. This year residents of The Breakers partnered with resident groups in other buildings and joined a neighborhood gathering of roughly 2,000–2,500 people who brought creative signs.
