No Kings protests grow

Maine Morning Star -   Thousands of protests are scheduled across the United States on Saturday as part of the “No Kings” movement opposing President Donald Trump’s administration.  Organizers expect millions of people to turn out for this third round of No Kings demonstrations, with more than 3,000 local-level events mapped on the movement’s official website.

Previous No Kings protests, held in June and October of 2025, were among the largest single-day demonstrations in U.S. history, according to Harvard University’s Crowd Counting Consortium, a data project that documents political protests and other demonstrations around the country.

Driving the No Kings movement at the national level are prominent progressive organizations, including Indivisible, 50501 and MoveOn. But demonstrations are organized at the local level by coalitions of hundreds of progressive groups that run the gamut from civil rights organizations to labor unions, religious communities to nonprofits dedicated to issues such as education, climate, gun control and immigration.
