There are more than 3,100 events planned nationwide to protest the actions and policies of President Donald Trump. Organizers expect the No Kings protests to draw millions of Americans into the streets on March 28, 2026.

No Kings Protests

Organizers are hoping this weekend’s planned No Kings protests will be among the largest in U.S. history.

The ACLU estimates the June 2025 protests gathered five million people among 1,800 events, and the October 2025 demonstrations hosted seven million people at 2,500 events.

Leah Greenberg, the co-founder of Indivisible said organizers expect protesters to come out for a variety of reasons from immigration enforcement to calls for impeachment. The important thing is that people come out and build connections.

Why Protest

“We have people who are going to come out because they are furious about what is being done to their neighbors and attacks on immigrants. We have people who are going to come out because they are deeply concerned about the Trump administration’s attacks on civil rights. We have people who are going to come out because they are horrified by the war. Rather than trying to make a specific set of policy demands or a specific policy platform, we want to mass together,” says Greenberg.

Public Citizen co-president Robert Weissman says that since the No Hands Protests a year ago, Americans have refused to give in to what they believe are dear tactics from the administration.

“The public has really refused to give in to fear and has found the power in collective action and in solidarity,” says Weissman.

Organizers for the No Kings protests built a coalition spanning labor, progressive activists, civil rights groups, and faith leaders. Additionally, civic organizing groups such as Indivisible and Public Citizen, along with hosting organizations MoveOn, the Human Rights Campaign, Women’s March and Working Families Power, plus multiple unions and grassroots groups have formed since Election Day 2024.

The demonstrations are named No Kings because organizers believe Trump is behaving like a monarch rather than a democratic leader. The third day of protests was announced as immigration enforcement came to a peak in Minneapolis and two U.S. citizens were killed by ICE agents. Organizers urge people to join the protests for whatever it is about this administration that troubles them.

Beverly Harvey, Indivisible Kansas City founder says it does not matter why people protest, but if they do not like what the administrations is doing, they can participate. “It’s a laundry list of things he’s done. So just pick something, pick anything you want,” she said.

White House Response

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson says, “The only people who care about these Trump Derangement Therapy Session are the reporters who are paid to cover them.”

Demonstrations are scheduled in large cities, suburbs and small towns across the nation. The focus on accessible protests helps build a greater network of advocates, and makes it harder to deny people in all areas are upset enough to show up.

Greenberg says every new protest leads to more organizing locally. She says there are 20 to 50 new Indivisible groups created each week.

“Fundamentally we’re not going for the biggest one-day record. We are going for the ongoing engagement of as much of the population as possible in civic work. We don’t think that we are going to get out of this mess unless we have a much bigger number of people in every place in this country collectively owning their home turf and building power.”
