'No Kings' protests in NYC: 100,000+ demonstrators
"No Kings" protests broke out in New York City and across the United States on Saturday. More than 100,000 people took to the streets across New York's five boroughs, according to the NYPD.
NEW YORK - A nationwide series of "No Kings" protests is planned for March 28, with more than 3,000 events scheduled across the country, including in New York City and the surrounding areas.
These protests are organized by groups including Indivisible and the broader 50501 Movement, which have coordinated previous actions in June and October 2025 that drew millions of participants nationwide.
But, what is a "No Kings" rally?
‘No Kings’ explained
What To Know:
These protests are coordinated locally by area chapters of Indivisible and other grassroots groups.
They aim to bring out demonstrators to oppose Trump administration policies and to raise broader concerns about civil rights and democratic norms. According to a statement by organizers issued last year, these rallies are meant to reject authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics and the militarization of the country’s democracy.

"The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings — and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption and cruelty," "No Kings" organizers write on their official website.
Timeline:
The first "No Kings" protest occurred on June 14, 2025—President Donald Trump's 79th birthday. That event drew more than five million participants to over 2,100 events nationwide, according to estimates from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
Four months later, the second one took place on October 18, 2025. Even bigger than the first, this day of protest included over 2,700 events across all 50 states, according to The Brookings Institution.
