‘No Kings’ Protests Across the Country : The Picture Show : NPR


In large cities and small towns across the country, millions took to the streets today in protest against the policies of President Trump and his administration.

Organized by “No Kings,” a network of progressive groups opposed to the administration’s agenda, the protests are the third wave of demonstrations since the President took office for a second term. Last year, millions attended protests in June and again in October.

Crowds assemble at the Embarcadero in San Francisco prior to the start of the protest.

TOPSHOT - Demonstrators walk across the Memorial Bridge from Arlington, Virginia into Washington, DC, during the "No Kings" national day of protest on March 28, 2026. Nationwide protests against US President Donald Trump are expected Saturday as millions of people vent fury over what they see as his authoritarian bent and other forms of cruel, law-trampling governance. It is the third time in less than a year that Americans will take to the streets as part of a grassroots movement called "No Kings," the most vocal and visual conduit for opposition to Trump since he began his second term in January 2025.
