The “No Kings” protests were a reminder that sometimes maintaining democracy requires people to demand it. Seven million showed up across the country to do that, insisting that no one stands above the rest. With people marching side by side with strangers, it was refreshing to see the unity rooted in the faith that power can still be held accountable. However, the death of a protester in Utah showed that even well-intentioned movements can lose their way. Reclaiming power matters, but not at the expense of the lives it is meant to protect.
