Overview
- The coalition’s third national day of action, set for Saturday, March 28, features more than 3,000 locally organized events across all 50 states, according to organizers.
- St. Paul will anchor the effort with marches converging on the Minnesota State Capitol, a plan shaped by January shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents, and Bruce Springsteen is slated to perform.
- City officials in places like Philadelphia announced road closures, parking limits and transit detours, and groups such as the ACLU have been training attendees on protest rights.
- Organizers say the protests answer immigration crackdowns, a month-old war in Iran and rising costs at home, with many events also highlighting voting and civil-rights concerns.
- Indivisible and partner groups including 50501, labor unions and civil-rights organizations emphasize small-town and suburban turnout, even as an MS NOW column questions the movement’s specific demands and the White House dismisses the rallies.
