We hope you have a plan to attend one of the thousands of local "No Kings" protests across the nation and the world tomorrow, March 18. Go with friends, neighbors, and family to make it more memorable. Here's where you can find more information (and again, though it's encouraged for people to sign up, it's not necessary in order to attend an event!).
From McPaper USA Today:
With more than 3,100 events planned nationwide to protest President Donald Trump's actions and policies, organizers expect the No Kings protests to draw millions of Americans into the streets March 28.
Two earlier No Kings protests brought out huge crowds, and organizers hope this event will be among the largest days of protest in U.S. history.
The ACLU estimated that the No Kings protests in initial June 2025 drew about 5 million people to 1,800 events, and the October 2025 demonstrations drew 7 million to 2,500 events. The ACLU's estimate for the June 2025 protests matched the findings of Harvard University's Crowd Counting Consortium.
Indivisible cofounder Leah Greenberg said organizers expect people to protest for a variety of reasons − from immigration enforcement to calls for impeachment. The important thing is people come out and build connections, she said. Indivisible is one of the organizers.
"We have people who are going to come out because they are furious about what is being done to their neighbors and attacks on immigrants. We have people who are going to come out because they are deeply concerned about the Trump administration's attacks on civil rights. We have people who are going to come out because they are horrified by the war," Greenberg said. "Rather than trying to make a specific set of policy demands or a specific policy platform, we want to mass together."...
Engage on social media, or spread the word in whatever way you choose. We can make this the largest day of protest in American history tomorrow and let all of America and the world know that tyrants aren't welcome here.
