No Kings – nokings.org – is a non-violent protest movement responding to the monarchy-like concentration of power in the hands of the president, to the exclusion of Congress and the judiciary. The 50501 movement (“50 protests. 50 states. 1 movement.”) named its protest events “No Kings” as an explicit evocation of history, drawing five million participants in June and seven million in October.
The No Kings Coalition announced on its web site on Feb 17 it “continues its nationwide digital organizing effort to push back against the growing authoritarian actions of the Trump administration” and would next hold mass rallies on Mar 28, “including a flagship gathering in the Twin Cities [Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota], with thousands more anticipated across the country leading up to the day of action… The March 28 mobilization is expected to be even larger than October’s, as more and more Americans rise up against President Trump’s increasing authoritarianism and federal abuses.” The web site continues, “The Trump Administration has escalated their brutality and authoritarianism on families and immigrants in Minnesota and across the country, killing multiple people including Keith Porter Jr., Renée Good, Alex Pretti, and at least six people in ICE custody so far in 2026. Last year, 32 people died in ICE custody, making it ICE’s deadliest year in more than two decades.”
