Thousands of 'No Kings' protests are set to take place this Saturday across Massachusetts, with more than 160 events scheduled in cities and towns across the state. The March 28 mobilization is expected to be the largest 'No Kings' protest yet, with over 3,000 demonstrations planned nationwide. Massachusetts has the second-most 'No Kings' protest events scheduled, after California.

Why it matters

The 'No Kings' protests reflect ongoing backlash over the Trump administration's immigration policies, concerns about the state of American democracy, and opposition to recent U.S. involvement in Iran. The demonstrations aim to show the power of grassroots activism and the broad public support for democratic reforms.

The details

Protesters will gather at over 160 locations across Massachusetts, from Boston Common to small town greens, to call for an end to authoritarian rule and a return to democratic principles. Organizers say the protests will feature speakers, music, and other activities to energize the movement for political change.

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