Indivisibles,
No Kings Day is coming on March 28, and we’ve already got nearly 600 peaceful protests planned across all 50 states, including our flagship event in the Twin Cities.
The early energy we’re seeing around this upcoming day of defiance goes way beyond what we saw this far out from our record-setting mass mobilizations last year.
Outrage at the corruption, brutality, and lawlessness of Trump and his billionaire enablers is bubbling up everywhere. The courage to openly defy this regime is surfacing everywhere. And protests to stop the rise of fascism in its tracks are coming together everywhere.
March 28 will be the largest day of protest in US history, as the American people say in one, unbreakable voice: No thugs terrorizing our neighborhoods. No rigging our elections. No palatial ballrooms while people struggle to afford basic housing. No troop deployments in our streets. No !*#ing Kings.
As of today, the No Kings map is live. Use it to find your closest No Kings protest >>
The No Kings coalition announces our dates far in advance because it takes time to plan massive, inescapable, world-historic days of nonviolent protest at this scale. But as you know, we don’t pencil off a few dates on the calendar each year to fight tyranny -- that’s the work we, our partners, and so many No Kings participants do every single day.
Our coalition has already put together the two largest ICE Watch trainings in history. We and our partners stood up nationwide protests throughout January. And we can guarantee you this -- even as we prep for No Kings III, Indivisible and others in this coalition will continue to offer a host of tactics, from protests to economic pressure, congressional-facing actions to mutual aid, to fight the fascists at the helm of our government and protect our communities.
But starting now, we do need all of your help to make No Kings an overwhelming demonstration of opposition to this regime’s authoritarian agenda that further weakens the wannabe-king and strengthens our pro-democracy movement.
- Help spread the word: Use the social toolkit on the No Kings website, or directly share the signup for your closest protest. Extra credit: If you have people in your life that are dipping their toes into political activism via No Kings, encourage them to take another step this week like calling their Member of Congress or connecting with a local organizing group. We’ve got plenty of ways to get involved at indivisible.org.
- Chip in, if you can: Organizing a national day of action with millions of people takes time and resources. Between the recruitment tools, map of events, supplies and security, the costs for Indivisible alone are significant. Grassroots donors are crucial to No Kings’ success.
In April of last year, our coalition turned out three million people for Hands Off. By October’s No Kings, our numbers had grown to seven million. What comes next is up to us and the work we put in between today and March 28. Let’s make history.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
