A third round of No Kings protests will be held across the Western Slope of Colorado on Saturday, including in towns like Montrose, Telluride, Paonia, and Grand Junction. Organizers say this could potentially be the largest protest in American history, following an October protest that drew seven million participants nationwide.

Why it matters

The No Kings protests have grown into a major grassroots movement opposing President Trump's policies, with the upcoming events expected to draw significant attention and participation from local communities across the Western Slope.

The details

The No Kings protests, which first began in 2017, have steadily grown in scale with each successive round. The October 2025 protest was joined by seven million Americans across all 50 states, which organizers say amounted to 14 times the attendance of both of Trump's inaugurations combined. The upcoming March 26th protests are anticipated to be even larger, as Western Slope towns with strong progressive and environmental leanings mobilize to voice their opposition to the current administration's agenda.

  • The third round of No Kings protests will be held on Saturday, March 26, 2026.
