Activists have planned dozens of 'No Kings' protests across Arizona on Saturday, with demonstrations scheduled in Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, Tempe and other cities. This is the fourth mass mobilization since President Donald Trump's return to the White House, and organizers expect it to be one of the largest days of protest in American history, with more than 3,100 events registered nationwide and over 9 million people expected to participate.

Why it matters

The 'No Kings' protests reflect growing public opposition to the Trump administration's policies, particularly on issues like immigration. The demonstrations are seen as a way for citizens to voice their dissent and push back against what they view as authoritarian tendencies in the government.

The details

The protests are planned for various locations across Arizona, including the state capitol in Phoenix, Cole Park in Tempe, Civic Square Park in Goodyear, and city halls in Tucson and Flagstaff. Organizers have designated the rally at the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul as the national flagship event, with a performance by Bruce Springsteen.

  • The 'No Kings' protests are scheduled for Saturday, March 28, 2026.
  • Last June's event in Minnesota drew an estimated 80,000 people.
