‘No Kings’ protests return to Ohio, condemning Trump’s policies
Nationwide “No Kings” protests took place on Oct. 18. Hundreds of demonstrators participated in protests in Columbus area.
A nationwide protest is set to return this weekend, with a “No Kings” demonstration planned at the Ohio Statehouse in downtown Columbus as well as in other area communities.
The Downtown event is part of a coordinated day of action expected to include hundreds, and potentially thousands, of gatherings across the country on March 28.
Mia Lewis, a volunteer with Indivisible Central Ohio and associate director of Common Cause Ohio, said the protest aims to bring together people concerned about federal policy and government overreach.
“We’re fed up with the Trump administration and their overreach,” Lewis said. “We’re taking a stand against illegal wars, injustice and power corruption.”
When and where is the Columbus protest?
The Columbus event is scheduled for 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. March 28 at the Ohio Statehouse, according to event organizers.
Participants are expected to gather near the William McKinley Monument before a rally and march through Downtown.
The protest is being organized locally by Indivisible Central Ohio, alongside partners including Common Cause Ohio, ACLU of Ohio and Columbus 50501.
Central Ohio events planned throughout the day
In addition to the Statehouse rally, there are three other rallies planned in Columbus, including at Easton, in German Village, and a senior-focused gathering scheduled from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. near Neil Avenue and Goodale Boulevard.
Other rallies are scheduled in more than 15 other cities throughout central Ohio. Those interested can visit nokings.org to view a map of events in their region.
What is the ‘No Kings’ movement?
The “No Kings” movement is a nationwide organizing effort that opposes what organizers describe as authoritarian actions by President Donald Trump and his administration.
According to organizers, more than 1,000 events have already been planned across the country for March 28, with thousands more expected.
“I have noticed that most people are unhappy with the Trump administration and they want to see change,” Lewis said.
Organizers say millions of people participated in similar protests last year.
What to expect from ‘No Kings’ events
Organizers say the demonstrations are intended to push back against federal policies and actions they oppose, while also encouraging civic engagement and nonviolent protest.
The coalition has hosted training sessions ahead of the March events aimed at educating participants about their rights and how to safely observe federal enforcement activity.
Organizers estimate attendance at the Statehouse event could exceed 15,000 people, potentially making it one of the largest protests in the city’s history.
The event is expected to include speakers such as state Rep. Munira Abdullahi, D-Columbus; retired Maj. Gen. Dennis Laich and representatives from advocacy groups. Organizers said attendees are encouraged to bring signs and messages important to them.
“Everyone is welcome,” Lewis said.

Three individual state champions, two of whom won two events each, and three anchors of Upper Arlington’s third consecutive Division I team championship squad highlight The Dispatch’s 2025-26 All-Metro girls swimming and diving team.
Eleven of the 12 honorees have appeared in multiple state meets, and the 12th might be poised to join that club.

Leah Nebraska, Olentangy Berlin
The Akron signee finished her high school career with two Division I state championship swims, winning the 50 free (22.84) and 100 free (49.98). A three-time state qualifier who was seeded second and fourth, respectively, for those events at state, Nebraska was district runner-up in the 50 free (23.16) and third in the 100 free (53.98).

Lily Schneider, Jonathan Alder
The Southern Indiana signee and four-time Division II state qualifier dominated the 100 breast in her prep career, winning district (1:03.96) this winter before placing second (1:02.96) at state, 0.27 of a second out of first place. Schneider, who reached state in the breaststroke every year, also excelled in the 200 free, finishing third at district (1:57.43) and eighth (1:57.38) at state.
COACH OF THE YEAR: Ruslan Gaziev, Watterson
A former Ohio State and Canadian national swimmer in his second year as head coach, Gaziev has helped steer a remarkable turnaround for Watterson.
Two years after the Eagles had only one Division I state qualifier and did not score as a team, they had four individual qualifiers, advanced all three relays to state and finished 10th overall – 42 places better than a year ago. That came a week after Watterson placed second in the district meet, its best finish since tying for second in 2012.
A native of Moscow who was raised in Toronto, Gaziev was a four-time first-team All-American in the 100 free and 200 and 400 free relays with the Buckeyes. He also was a two-time first-team all-Big Ten swimmer and eight-time honorable mention All-American. Gaziev participated in the 2021 Olympic Games with Team Canada, helping the 400 free relay to fourth place.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa – Sunday offers a chance for redemption for the Wisconsin women’s hockey team.
The last time the Badgers met Ohio State, the Buckeyes cashed in on a couple of chances and left Minneapolis with a 2-1 win in the championship game of the WCHA’s Final Faceoff March 7.
The loss dropped Wisconsin from No. 1 in the polls for the first time this season. Ohio State assumed that spot.
But who is really the nation’s No. 1 team? We’ll find out this afternoon when No. 2 Wisconsin faces No. 1 Ohio State in the national championship game at Pegula Ice Arena.
This is the fourth straight year the teams have met in the final. Wisconsin (34-4-2) has a chance to capture its third title in four years; Ohio State (36-4) is going for its third championship in five seasons
Check here throughout the game for updates on the action.
Wisconsin has reclaimed the lead and its depth played key role in the score.
Senior Claire Enright, a member of the Badgers’ fourth line, scored off an assist from third line center Marianne Picard to give UW a 3-2 edge with 6 minute 18 seconds to play.
The goal was Enright’s ninth of the season and her first since Feb. 14.
You just knew it wasn’t going to be easy against Ohio State.
The Buckeyes have stormed back with two goals in the span of about 2 minutes early in the third period.
Kassidy Carmichael put Ohio State on the board at the 3 minutes 32 seconds into the third period off a pass from Mira Jungaker.
Jocelyn Amos evened the scored at the 5:34 mark. Ava McNaughton got the initial save, but Amos stuck with the play and back handed the tying goal.
Wisconsin 2, Ohio State 2, 13:33 to play.
The Badgers missed a great chance to add to its 2-0 lead 6 minutes into the second period when Ohio State’s Kassidy Carmichael was called for interference on Cassie Hall.
The 2 minutes produced no goal, and very few opportunities. It’s still a 2-0 game, but the Buckeyes are controlling the action. About 7 minutes have passed in the second period.
Wisconsin leads, 2-0, after one period, but the Buckeyes almost cut that deficit in half when All-American Joy Dunne got a shot opportunity near the crease against Badgers goaltender Ava McNaughton.
In a matchup of two Olympians, McNaughton won the battle with an impressive save.
The play highlight a strong defensive showing for UW during the final half of the first period when it eliminated many of the shot opportunities that Ohio State was able to generate earlier
Ohio State leads the Badgers in shot attempts, but UW is making better use of its chances.
Wisconsin now has two goals in its first four shots. Junior defender Laney Potter did the honors this time at the 7:34 mark of the first period. Gorbatenko, who got UW’s first goal, got the assist as did Adela Sapovalivova.
Gorbatenko and Sapovalivova have two point each and the Badgers are officially off to a hot start.
In the teams’ last meeting, Ohio State set the tone.
Not today.
Kelly Gorbatenko put the Badgers on the board 78 seconds into play off passes from Adela Sapovalivova and Lacey Eden. It was their first shot of the game.
And with 13:46 to play in the first period, UW leads, 1-0.
The championship will feature 10 players who competed in the Olympics Games in Milan, Italy. Here is the run down.
Ohio State Buckeyes
16 – Joy Dunne, jr. F, Team USA: The second-team All-American is averaging a career-best 1.67 points per game. That ranks fifth in the country. Her .90 goals per game average ranks third nationally. She scored the game-winning goal in the Buckeyes’ 1-0 win over Wisconsin in 2024 championship game..
14 – Mira Jungaker, fr., D, Sweden: At the Olympics she ranked second for Sweden in ice time. She has six goals and 18 assists this season.
