Hundreds of people gathered at protests in Omaha and Lincoln on Saturday ahead of midterm elections.
Hundreds of people gathered at protests in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska on Saturday as part of the 'No Kings' movement, which held rallies across the country. In Omaha, the event took place at a park in the Benson neighbourhood and featured protesters voicing concerns about the Trump administration. About 20 organisations participated in voter outreach at the Omaha event.
Organisers said the rallies aimed to bring communities together and promote voter participation. Jason Brown, co-founder of Blue Dot Wave, said the group seeks to welcome voters across the political spectrum, including independents and those typically voting Republican who may be dissatisfied with current politics. Event organisers emphasised the importance of voter registration and early voting.
The Lincoln protest took place at the Nebraska State Capitol, with organisers framing the event as turning people into voter power. Organisers encouraged voters to make plans to vote early and to understand their voting options. The events came just over two weeks before the midterm election.
