Jersey drivers are well-known for honking their horns in displeasure, but on June 14 at the gateway to Long Beach Island, at least some of the honking was in support for a crowd that gathered to protest Donald Trump’s policies since the start of his second presidency. They lined the sidewalk on the south side of Ninth Street in Ship Bottom and waved signs. There were 2,000 planned No King protests nationwide that day.

“It’s the people who make change,” said Diane Mayer, a Beach Haven Park resident and an organizer of the event.
