No Kings protest: March 28 rally goes far beyond America—it will be on 6 continents. Here’s who will be there

There are more than 3,100 events scheduled in all 50 states for tomorrow’s third “No Kings” nationwide protest. Musicians Bruce Springsteen and Joan Baez, actress Jane Fonda, and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont are among those slated to speak and/or perform at one of the events on March 28, in Minnesota’s capital city, St. Paul.

Protests will also take place around the globe on every continent except Antarctica, organizers tell Fast Company.

Springsteen will be singing his new political hit, “Streets of Minneapolis,” about President Donald Trump’s deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to that city. He and the E Street band will kick off their next tour, dubbed “No Kings,” in the city on Tuesday, March 31.

Minneapolis has become the epicenter for protests against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, which has led to chaos and violence there, including the shooting deaths of residents Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal officers in January.

Organizers say the third No Kings protest is on track to be one of the largest single-day nonviolent nationwide protests in American history, with millions of people saying, “No Illegal Wars, No ICE, and No Kings” to Trump and his administration.

A previous No Kings protest in June 2025 drew 5 million people to more than 2,100 events, and another in October drew 7 million to more than 2,700 events.

Tomorrow’s mobilization is the next step in the growing grassroots coalition movement of teachers, unions, students, immigrants’ rights groups, and others, which is gaining traction in red and purple states.

No Kings spreads to red states and districts

“Our suburban events are up 40% from the first protests, and we are seeing double-digit growth in Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and Republican Congressional districts including Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s district in South Dakota, and House Speaker Mike Johnson’s district in Louisiana,” Leah Greenberg, cofounder of Indivisible, one of the key organizers of the protest, tells Fast Company. Both districts are conservative strongholds in red states.

Indivisible is also seeing more No Kings events planned in traditionally red areas, like Atlanta’s East Cobb, and Scottsdale and Chandler in Arizona, Greenberg adds.

What makes this protest different from previous ones, according to organizers, is that now Americans are experiencing armed and masked ICE agents at airports; a war in Iran; and attempts by the Trump administration, along with Republicans in Congress, to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, known as the SAVE Act, which could make it harder for people to vote.
