Where are the No Kings protests near me? Demonstrations return Saturday

More than two dozen No Kings protests and demonstrations are scheduled across the Sacramento region on Saturday, March 28, according to the movement’s website. About a dozen more are scheduled near Modesto, Merced, Fresno and San Luis Obispo.

Protesters are gathering across the nation for a third No Kings protest since the movement voicing opposition to the Trump administration and its policies launched in June 2025. In the Sacramento region, organizers plan to host public rallies and visibility events across highway overpasses.

Upward of 3,000 events are slated to happen across the U.S. on March 28, marking the largest No Kings mobilization since the protests began last year.

Here’s what to know about the scheduled protests.

What is No Kings?

No Kings is a movement protesting what organizers call “abuses of power” by the Trump administration, according to leaders with Indivisible, a national activist organization. Local Indivisible chapters and other collective action groups organize rallies and visibility events across the country.

The first gatherings occurred on June 14, President Donald Trump’s birthday, during which he hosted a military parade in Washington, D.C. Thousands of people gathered at the California state Capitol and in other gatherings throughout the region to protest policies they said were threatening the nation’s democracy.

In October, protesters organized a second No Kings Day in the midst of a federal government shutdown, National Guard deployments around the U.S. and intense immigrant deportation operations. The autumn events were even larger, with an estimated 7,000 people protesting at the Capitol in downtown Sacramento and nearly 7 million demonstrating across the nation.

This third iteration of No Kings protests is estimated to be the largest of all, according to Indivisible. More than 3,000 events are on the organization’s calendar for March 28, as the Trump administration continues immigrant detainment and deportation operations and escalates the war with Iran.

“Just months ago, millions of people took to the streets across thousands of events to say no to Trump’s abuses of power, and today that movement is only growing,” said Indivisible co-executive director Ezra Levin in a statement. “We are all united in this fight to save our democracy from this administration, and we will win. From every corner of this country, we are all saying: NO KINGS.”

On the No Kings website, a map shows thousands of planned events across the country, including 27 in the capital region.

Organizers of the Sacramento Cesar Chavez march urged supporters to attend one of the area’s No Kings events after they canceled the march — which was planned for the same day — after a New York Times investigation released Wednesday reported Chavez allegedly abused women and young girls during his time leading the farmworkers labor movement.
