On March 28, 2026, marches and rallies took place in about 3,300 cities, towns, and villages across the United States for the third national “No Kings” mobilization. More than 8 million turned out, a significant increase over the October 2025 participation, marking an historic overall turnout of protesters and an unprecedented number of individual actions. Nearly two thirds of the actions took place in smaller cities or towns. The No Kings mobilizations have drawn forces with a variety of concerns under an umbrella of opposition to the increasing concentration of power in the executive branch and threats to basic democratic rights — including due process, free speech, and voting rights — posing the danger of one-man rule.

On March 28, 2026, marches and rallies took place in about 3,300 cities, towns, and villages across the United States. It was the third national “No Kings” mobilization. Organizers estimate that more than 8 million turned out, a significant increase over the estimated 7 million that participated in the October 2025 No Kings actions.

The network Indivisible was prominent among the organizers, but hundreds of other groups — both national and local — helped build the events. These included a number of local and national labor organizations.

The recent mobilizations marked an historic overall turnout of protesters in the United States as well as an unprecedented number of individual actions. Among the largest were in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota (as many as 200,000); New York City (where organizers reported more than 350,000 in attendance); Chicago, Boston, and Washington, D.C. (about 100,000 each); Seattle (90,000); and Los Angeles and San Francisco (50,000 each).

    Protests are not an effective way to accomplish change. Only to build support for a cause. At this point the cause has more than enough support shown to it and real action is needed.

    We had two previous no-kings protests. What did that lead to? Even the Democrats refused to gold any meaningful opposition and are continuing their neocon course because they believe that these protests are pro-Democrat protests.
