As President Trump escalates his attempts to control us, it is on us, the people, to show that we will fight to protect one another and our country. If he believes we will roll over and allow him to take our freedoms, he is mistaken. We are coming together again on March 28 because we know we can overcome this repression when we unite.

'No Kings' movement set to sweep California with mass protests planned for March 28
The Brief
• Over 3,000 "No Kings" protests are scheduled nationwide for March 28, with California leading the movement with over 300 confirmed local events.
• Organized by Indivisible and the ACLU, the mobilization aims to be the largest in U.S. history, following massive turnouts in June and October 2025.
• Organizers emphasize a strictly nonviolent approach, explicitly requesting that participants refrain from bringing any weapons to the demonstrations.


In California alone, 320 events are currently tracked, with major gatherings planned for Los Angeles City Hall, the California State Capitol in Sacramento, and Embarcadero Plaza in San Francisco.

likely be the real number since they always underestimate by at least 25%. I've been to over 35 protests since 2016 and I am pretty good at estimation the numbers by now and this has always bugged me.
