Concordians angered and frustrated by the Trump Administration’s policies on a host of issues joined demonstrators in communities across the country Saturday, gathering at Alcott Elementary School for a “No Kings” rally to raise their objections to what they characterize as the tyrannical conduct of the president in speeches and song, and then marching, signs aloft, to Acton Center.
