Protests are expected across the United States on March 28 as part of the latest 'No Kings' demonstrations protesting President Donald Trump's administration. More than 3,100 protests are anticipated nationwide, exceeding previous No Kings rallies held in June and October 2025. The flagship event will take place in Minnesota's Twin Cities, where the movement originated in 2025 with protests against perceived authoritarian actions by the Trump administration.

Why it matters

The scale of these protests, with events planned in every U.S. State and beyond, suggests a broad and sustained level of opposition to the current administration. Although the immediate impact remains to be seen, such widespread mobilization can significantly shape the political landscape and influence future policy debates.
