On Friday, March 28, an estimated nine million protesters across more than 3,300 organized events rallied nationwide in what organizers called “No Kings 3” which became one of the largest single-day protests in American history.

The original “No Kings” demonstrations began as a response to the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement, tariffs and gerrymandering. Since then, new grievances including the war with Iran and the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, two individuals killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, became focal points for protesters.

The flagship rally was held at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul, drawing an estimated 100,000 attendees according to the Minnesota State Patrol, with notable speakers including Senator Bernie Sanders, former Vice President Tim Walz, and performers such as Bruce Springsteen and Joan Baez.

While major cities hosted large gatherings, much of the movement’s energy came from smaller, local events. Nearly half of all organized rallies took place in Republican-leaning areas, with Texas, Florida, and Ohio each hosting over 100 events.

As of now, the administration has remained largely quiet on the protests. The closest thing to an official response came from White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson, who dismissed the demonstrations as the product of “leftist funding networks” with little genuine public support.
