Thousands of Wisconsinites took to the streets over the weekend for no-kings protests all around our state.

People gathered at Cathedral Square Park where organizers say the message was loud and clear.

Be ready and get out there before November 3rd.

Green Bay's No Kings event was at the historic City Stadium where the Packers played before there was such a thing as Lambeau Field.

And Lambeau Field certainly made its presence known last night as the Packers hosted the Dallas Cowboys for primetime Sunday night football.

Now the pack heads to Detroit to take on the Lions this Sunday.

Kickoff is set for 325.
