Nationwide 'No Kings' Protests Linked to Millions in Funding from Leftist Groups

Demonstrations in multiple cities turn chaotic as police clash with protesters

Mar. 29, 2026 at 4:38pm

A network of around 500 left-wing groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues is behind the coordinated nationwide 'No Kings' protests that took place on Saturday, according to a Fox News investigation. The protests, which featured chants for 'communist revolution,' saw clashes between police and demonstrators in cities like Portland, Dallas, and Los Angeles.

Why it matters

The 'No Kings' movement has been described as a 'brilliant' effort to mobilize far-left activists, with funding traced back to figures like American tech tycoon and communist Neville Roy Singham and organizations tied to Democratic megadonor George Soros. The protests highlight growing political divisions and the influence of radical ideologies, even as they claim to be 'leaderless' grassroots movements.

The details

In Portland, protesters wearing gas masks attacked police officers trying to control the crowd, while in Dallas, police had to separate 'No Kings' demonstrators from 'Pro America' counter-protesters engaged in heated clashes. In Los Angeles, demonstrators were seen hurling bricks at Department of Homeland Security agents and resisting arrest. The contrast was stark in Malibu, where Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff attended a star-studded 'No Kings' rally without incident.

The takeaway

The 'No Kings' protests highlight the growing influence of radical leftist groups and their ability to mobilize large-scale demonstrations, even as they claim to be 'leaderless' grassroots movements. The involvement of well-funded organizations and individuals linked to communist ideologies raises concerns about the true nature and motivations behind these protests.
