Millions of people will be taking to the streets again this weekend for another nationwide ‘No Kings protest.

They're expected to be big like the first ‘No Kings event was.

You're looking at video here from the June protest in Seattle.

More than 2,000 sites are set to take part this time, in all 50 states.

There are several around the northwest.

Look for coordinated coverage from us and our partners around the region.

And, well have what to expect as far as where in the Inland Northwest, and how cities and agencies like police departments are preparing, as a sort of preview to Saturday, coming up online and on the radio airwaves.

Some farmers are worried after three straight years of drought in the Yakima Basin.

The Washington State Department of Ecology issued an unprecedented halt to surface water use through the end of October.

That means some aren't able to deeply water crops before winter.

Here's Scott Revell with the Roza Irrigation District.

“Well, particularly for wine grapes and tree fruits, being able to fill the soil profile up with water makes it so that the plants can survive better if we get very cold temperatures in the winter, like single digits or even below.” Ecology says the water use orders are in place because water available from Yakima Basin reservoirs has likely run out.

Without that stored water, rain and flows from the Yakima River aren't enough to supply senior irrigation water rights holders.

The department also said it's a necessary step to protect water for fish.

Now another reminder, and two opportunities, the American Revolution screening and community conversation is set for Thursday, October 23rd at 6:30 p.m.

in the Tri-Cities.

We get a look at the new Ken Burns film and we'll be joined by a Washington State University historian as well as a local storyteller.

We hope you'll RSVP and join us October 23rd on the WSU Tri-Cities campus in Richland.

And if you can't make it a similar event on November 7th planned in Walla Walla.

This one will explore the theme of tribal sovereignty.

Hope to see you there.
