ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) – Several “No Kings” rallies are planned across Minnesota for March 28, with a flagship event being held in St. Paul. 

Over 3,000 “No Kings” events are planned across the U.S. for that day. 

‘No Kings’ rallies

What they’re saying:

Organizers are calling the upcoming “No Kings” rally “the largest single-day nonviolent nationwide protests in U.S. history.” 

“Just months ago, millions of people took to the streets across thousands of events to say no to Trump’s abuses of power, and today that movement is only growing. With every ICE raid, every escalation abroad, and every abuse of power at home, Americans are rising up in opposition to Trump’s attempt to rule through fear and force. Each day Trump crosses a new red line, and more people are deciding they’ve had enough,” said Ezra Levin, Co-Executive Director of Indivisible. “That is why people across the country are organizing, showing up for their neighbors, and making one thing unmistakably clear: we are done with the corruption, the cruelty, and the authoritarianism. This No Kings will be the largest protest in American history. We are all united in this fight to save our democracy from this administration, and we will win. From every corner of this country, we are all saying: NO KINGS.”

The backstory:

Several nationwide “No Kings” rallies have been held over the past year to oppose the Trump administration, including events in June and October. 

This “No Kings” rally comes after a major Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) surge in Minnesota, and the fatal shooting of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. 

No Kings meaning:

The rallies are organized by the 50501 movement – which stands for 50 protests, 50 states, one movement – which was created by Reddit users.

With the “No Kings” slogan, protesters are opposing what they see as authoritarian behavior by President Trump.
