Tens of thousands of people in Southern California and millions across the nation are expected to join marches and rallies today for the third annual 'No Kings' protest against the policies and actions of President Donald Trump. Organizers predict the turnout will be historic, with an estimated 12 million protesters - 5 million more than the most recent No Kings day in October 2025. More than 3,000 communities will hold demonstrations, with protesters calling for Trump's impeachment and the abolishment of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.

Why it matters

The 'No Kings' movement has shaped public debates, influenced legislative actions, and helped mount pressure to pass bipartisan legislation like the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The protests come amid growing public opposition to Trump's policies, the unpopular war in Iran, chaos at airports, and concerns over affordability and inflation.

The details

The nationwide 'No Kings' protests are being coordinated by a coalition of over 30 organizations, including Indivisible, #50501, and others. Protesters plan to gather in downtown Los Angeles, with a rally at 2pm followed by a march at 3pm. While the movement advocates non-violence, some past protests in downtown LA have seen clashes with police. In anticipation, metal gates have been installed on some freeway on- and off-ramps to prevent protesters from blocking traffic.

  • The third annual 'No Kings' National Day of Nonviolent Action is taking place on March 28, 2026.
  • The most recent 'No Kings' protest was held in October 2025.
