For the third time since last summer, ”No Kings” protests are being organized across North Texas by groups opposed to President Trump and his administration’s policies.
Some of the more than 20 rallies scheduled for March 28, including in downtown Fort Worth, will involve street closures.
Other cities include Dallas, Arlington, Burleson, Southlake, Weatherford, Mineral Wells, Carrollton and Flower Mound.
Last June, the first “No Kings” protest drew tens of thousands of people from Fort Worth to Dallas. A second one in October saw 7 million people across the country at more than 2,700 events. In Fort Worth, about 6,500 people marched in downtown including veterans who said they were standing up for constitutional rights.
The theme of these protests is what organizers say is an authoritarian shift in Washington when it comes to schools, immigration and the economy.
“No Kings is about reminding those in power that in America, authority flows from the people, not from fear or intimidation,” said Sabrina Ball, an Indivisible TX-12 leader, in a press release. “On March 28th, communities across the country will come together in nonviolent action to reject authoritarianism and stand up for our neighbors. When ordinary people show up together, democracy is stronger than any attempt to rule like a king.”
‘No Kings’ street closures in downtown Fort Worth
The Fort Worth protest will start at General Worth Square on Main Street with speakers and indigenous performances, followed by a march at 4 p.m. under the watch of the Fort Worth Police Department.
The city said the events will require some streets to be closed for a few hours around General Worth Square and surrounding intersections, including 9th Street from Houston to Commerce and Main Street from 8th to 9th streets.
