Minneapolis Will Be The Center Of The Next Round Of 'No Kings' Protests

The next major round of protests will be March 28, organizers said.

The next major round of “No Kings” protests against President Donald Trump’s administration will take place on March 28, organizers said Wednesday, and will feature a flagship event in Minnesota’s Twin Cities.

The protests are billed as a direct response to the Trump administration’s decision to target Minnesota with an aggressive and often-violent immigration crackdown that has led to the deaths of two activists at the hands of federal agents.

“The Trump regime is doubling down on fear and force to intimidate communities and silence dissent, and what we are seeing in Minnesota is a tragic example of that, with immigrant families and Black and brown communities being terrorized,” said Ezra Levin, the co-executive director of the liberal organizing group Indivisible. “From Alex Pretti to Renee Good to the tens of thousands showing up in subzero weather, we are also seeing a massive movement of brave people standing up for their neighbors and against this regime.”

Two earlier rounds of “No Kings” protests on June 14 and October 18 each drew millions of participants at events across the country, with estimates of attendance at the October events as high as 6 million people, enough to qualify as the biggest single-day protest in American history.

Beyond Indivisible, a host of liberal groups and unions are partners in the protest, including Public Citizen, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Service Employees International Union and both the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers.
