Another wave of No Kings protests against the Trump administration's policies and actions are scheduled in the St. Pete area this Saturday. The No Kings movement gained national attention last year when millions of people participated in coordinated protests in thousands of cities and towns, organized by a coalition of progressive groups to reject the policies and actions of the Trump administration.

Why it matters

The upcoming demonstrations come amid heightened political tensions, including backlash over federal immigration operations and U.S. involvement in an escalating conflict with Iran. The No Kings message is centered on defending democratic institutions and ensuring that political power remains with the public rather than concentrated in a single leader.

The details

No Kings events in the St. Pete area are planned at the Seminole Boulevard and East Bay Drive intersection in Largo from 10 a.m. to noon, Tyrone Square in St. Pete from 10:30 a.m. to noon, and Clymer Park in Gulfport from noon to 1:30 p.m. Organizers said they expect turnout to surpass previous events, potentially making March 28 one of the largest one-day protests in U.S. history, with more than 3,000 events planned in every congressional district in all 50 states.

  • The No Kings protests are scheduled for Saturday, March 28, 2026.
