Protesters are gearing up for a significant event in Portland this Saturday, October 18, as multiple locations will host demonstrations under the banner of "No Kings," opposing the Trump Administration. Activists are asserting that "the power belongs to the people," as detailed on their website.
In a unique twist to encourage participation, a local eatery, Lardo, is offering $3 beers to anyone who shows up in an inflatable costume, and notably, free drinks to those dressed specifically as frogs. This initiative appears to be a lighthearted take amidst the ongoing protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in South Portland, which have notably featured demonstrators donning inflatable animal costumes, including frogs and Mr. Potato Head.
Lardo’s offer of complimentary refreshments for "frogs" was shared through their Instagram post, inviting participants to enjoy both drinks and food while they support the cause.
The combination of advocacy and community engagement highlights the creative ways in which citizens are coming together to express their political views and foster a sense of camaraderie amidst the protests.
