Millions of people are expected to take to the streets across the United States and around the world on Saturday (March 28) for the third round of "No Kings" protests against President Donald Trump, and organizers say it could be the largest single-day demonstration in American history.
Over 3,200 events are planned across all 50 states and several countries, surpassing the roughly 2,600 demonstrations held during October's round of protests, which drew an estimated five million participants worldwide.
The protests are organized by a broad coalition of left-leaning advocacy groups, including Indivisible, Public Citizen, MoveOn, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the National Action Network. Organizers say the movement is non-partisan, pointing out that more than 50% of officially registered protest events are located in Republican-leaning or battleground areas.
A flagship rally is planned in Minnesota's Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, the site of massive anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demonstrations earlier this year. In January, federal immigration agents killed two residents, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were observing ICE activities during the Trump administration's mass deportation operations in the region.
The No Kings movement launched in June 2025, when millions gathered to protest as President Trump held a military parade in Washington on his 79th birthday. The Guardian reports that the June protests are estimated to have drawn between four million and six million people nationwide, potentially surpassing the 2017 Women's March as the largest single-day protest in recent American his
President Trump has repeatedly denied being a fascist or a monarch and has dismissed the protests. "I think it's a joke," he said of the October demonstrations last year. "I looked at the people. They're not representative of this country." White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson declined to engage with the substance of the protests, saying, "The only people who care about these Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions are the reporters who are paid to cover them."
Saturday's events are unfolding in real time, with demonstrators already gathering at locations including the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and the Capitolio de Puerto Rico in San Juan. Americans living abroad have already been protesting for hours in France, Portugal, Germany, Italy, and Greece.
