Over 100 “No Kings” protests are planned for Saturday, March 28, across New York state, as Americans continue to voice opposition to the Trump administration’s actions. More than 3,000 “No Kings” events are planned nationwide, indicating a growing movement.
What is the ‘No Kings’ Protest Movement?
The “No Kings” movement centers on concerns regarding cuts to health care, environmental protections, and education. Organizers state the protests are a response to what they describe as abuses of power by the Trump administration, citing ICE raids, escalations abroad, and domestic policies.
According to Ezra Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible, Americans are “showing up for their neighbors and making one thing unmistakably clear: we are done with the corruption, the cruelty and the authoritarianism.” Katie Bethell, Executive Director of MoveOn Civic Action, added that Americans agree on the fundamental values of self-governance and inherent goodness.
The “No Kings” movement is committed to nonviolent action, with participants expected to de-escalate potential confrontations and act lawfully. Weapons of any kind are prohibited at these events.
