Organizers at nokings.org say that the rallies on March 28 are expected to be the next step in the growing movement with an anticipated crowd that will be “one of the largest single-day nonviolent nationwide protests in U.S. history.”

Why are the ‘No Kings’ rallies being held?

According to the No Kings website, “President Trump has doubled down on his actions” citing multiple actions the president has committed.

The “No Kings” movement is for people who aim to take back the country and for “the people who care, who show up, and who fight for dignity, a life we can afford, and real opportunity,” according to the No Kings website.

The site states, “our peaceful movement is only getting bigger. ‘No Kings’ is more than just a slogan; it is the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, shouted by millions, carried on posters and chants, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.”
