Millions Protest in 3,100+ US Anti-Trump Rallies Across All States
March 28 saw No Kings protests across all 50 states, over 3,100 events. Millions participated nationwide against Iran war and immigration enforcement policies.
Massive Multistate Mobilization
More than 3,100 demonstrations took place across all 50 states. The epicenter was Minnesota, with roughly 100,000 people on the Capitol lawn. Bruce Springsteen headlined, performing in tribute to two Americans killed by federal agents.
Governor Tim Walz and Senator Bernie Sanders delivered speeches. Protesters marched through Washington, D.C., holding signs that read 'Put Down the Crown, Clown'.
Cross-Cutting Grievances
The protests addressed immigration, opposition to the war in Iran, economic frustration, and concerns about authoritarianism. The White House dismissed the protests as Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions. Two-thirds of the events occurred outside major cities.
Continuity of Resistance
This was the third installment of the No Kings series over the past year. Previous protests drew five and seven million participants respectively.
Trump's approval rating had dipped to 36 percent. The twin cities became a symbolic focal point of resistance.
