[ad_1]

Demonstrators decrying U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation efforts, war in Iran and other policies took to city streets across the country on Saturday (March 28, 2026) in the third round of the “No Kings” rallies.

More than 3,200 events were planned in ‌all 50 States. The two previous “No Kings” events attracted millions of participants. The “No Kings” movement, launched in 2025 on Mr. Trump’s birthday, June 14, drew an estimated 4 million to 6 million people across roughly 2,100 sites nationwide. The second mobilisation in October involved an estimated ⁠7 million participants in more than 2,700 cities, according to a crowdsourcing analysis published by prominent data journalist G. Elliott Morris.

The March 28, 2026 events come amid what organisers said was a call to action against the bombardment of Iran by the U.S. and Israel, a conflict ‌that is now four weeks old.
