Here’s Which Cities Are Likely to Host the Biggest No Kings Protests
Quick Insights
The Bottom Line
At least 3,000 'No Kings' demonstrations are scheduled to take place across the country this weekend.
AI Summary
Organizers have scheduled at least 3,000 "No Kings" demonstrations across the country for this Saturday to protest President Donald Trump, with the movement claiming it could be the largest day of domestic political protest in U.S. history. The third coordinated action comes as Trump's approval ratings have sunk to their lowest levels since his return to the White House, amid an ongoing war in Iran and a Department of Homeland Security shutdown since Feb. 14 that has caused airport security delays. About 66% of the planned protests will occur outside major urban centers, with nearly half taking place in red or battleground states—up nearly 40% from the first "No Kings" protest last June. Major blue-state cities including Minneapolis-Saint Paul (where Bruce Springsteen and Bernie Sanders are expected to perform and appear), Washington D.C., Chicago, New York City, and the San Francisco Bay Area are anticipated to draw massive crowds, with previous October demonstrations in those cities drawing between 100,000 and 250,000 protesters each. The movement's second demonstration in October drew roughly 7 million people nationwide, according to organizers.
