A nationwide day of peaceful demonstrations returns March 28, with organizers urging millions to rally against authoritarian policies and defend democratic freedoms.
On Saturday, March 28, the third round of No Kings will take place in cities and towns across the United States. The protest comes in response to the Trump administration’s recent crackdowns on immigration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s systemic violations of proper law enforcement procedures. The organizers are optimistic that millions of Americans will take part in demonstrations, marches and rallies, and predict it will be the largest nonviolent protest in American history.
The protest’s flagship event will be hosted in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota’s Twin Cities.

The most recent No Kings—Oct. 18, 2025—drew crowds of 7 million, with more than 2,700 events in all 50 states.
The first No Kings protest took place on Trump’s 79th birthday on June 14, 2025, which coincided with both Flag Day and the Trump-ordered U.S. Army 250th anniversary military parade. Attendance at Trump’s birthday parade was minimal (attendance fell far short of the expected 200,000) compared to the estimated 5 million people who participated in the protest.
No Kings is a national organization, formed last year. For past marches, they have partnered with almost 300 organizations—including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Feminist Majority (a sister organization to Ms.), Vote Save America, SEIU, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the National Organization for Women and the League of Women Voters—to host protests.
Organizers highlight that this will be a peaceful, nonviolent protest. Both the initial No Kings on June 14, 2025, and the second on Oct. 18, 2025, remained largely peaceful with no major, widely reported outbreaks of violence.
From the No Kings website: “Throughout 2025, in the face of unprecedented attacks, millions of us joined together in our communities and held the largest single day of morally grounded, non-violent direct actions by any movement in U.S. history. Each time we show up, we disrupt President Trump’s attempts to rule through repression and remind the country, and the world, that people power is our path to a truly free America.”
