The March 2026 No Kings protests are a planned coordination of peaceful protests that will take place on March 28, 2026. They will be part of a series of demonstrations taking place largely in the United States, primarily as a result of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement operations after recent shootings by immigration agents, most notably the killings of Renée Good, Keith Porter, and Alex Pretti.[1][2]
Background
The March 28 protests were preceded by No Kings protests in June[3] and October,[4] a general strike in Minnesota on January 23 in response to Operation Metro Surge,[5] and a larger strike across the U.S. on January 30,[6] and were organized by various groups and organizations, including Indivisible, 50501, and the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO).[7]
When the protests were originally scheduled, organizers described them as being opposed to immigration policies and authoritarianism of the Trump administration. After the 2026 Iran War began, organizers also described the protests as including opposition to "senseless war."[8][9]
Locations and activities
Dozens of demonstrations are planned in the Portland metropolitan area.[10]
