Nationwide 'No Kings' Protests Set for Saturday With St. Paul as Flagship

Organizers aim to turn one-day rallies into lasting local action through trainings.

Overview

  • The coalition has mapped more than 3,000 protests for Saturday, March 28, and says turnout could surpass the October mobilization.
  • St. Paul will host the flagship at the Minnesota Capitol, where Bruce Springsteen will sing “Streets of Minneapolis” alongside speakers including Sen. Bernie Sanders and Jane Fonda.
  • Indivisible, MoveOn, and the 50501 Movement lead the effort and frame it as a stand against authoritarianism and stepped-up federal immigration enforcement.
  • Plans stress nonviolence, a weapons ban at the St. Paul rally, and pre-rally trainings such as “Eyes on ICE” to convert participation into ongoing organizing.
  • Local coverage flags concrete impacts for residents, with Philadelphia listing road closures, Chicago and Texas posting times and locations, and Washington hosting a Trans Visibility rally that links to the protests.
