Thousands of people are expected to gather across metro Atlanta and other north Georgia cities this weekend for a series of 'No Kings' protests organized by a grassroots anti-monarchist group. The rallies, ranging from the heart of Atlanta to smaller cities like LaGrange and Athens, aim to voice opposition to any potential establishment of a monarchy in the United States.

Why it matters

The 'No Kings' protests reflect growing concerns among some Americans about the possibility of a monarchy being installed, either through constitutional means or by force. The demonstrations highlight the deep political divides in the country and the fear that democratic norms could be eroded.

The details

The 'No Kings' group has organized over 30 rallies across north Georgia for this weekend, with the largest expected to take place in downtown Atlanta. Protesters plan to march, give speeches, and lead chants rejecting any notion of a monarchy in the US. The group has been active for several years, but this is their largest coordinated effort to date.

  • The 'No Kings' protests are scheduled for this Saturday, March 29, 2026.
  • Rallies are planned to take place throughout the day, with the main event in Atlanta starting at 11 AM local time.
