‘No Kings 3’ Set for March 28 — Indivisible Aims for Nearly 9 Million at Nationwide Protests

Indivisible is organizing a nationwide protest called “No Kings 3” for March 28 and is aiming for a turnout it says could approach 9 million people. The group and lead organizer Ezra Levin describe the rally as a response to what they call a “secret police force terrorizing American communities.”

Why organizers say they’re marching

Levin told reporters that the march is intended to “safeguard American democracy” and protect communities and individuals he believes are threatened by the current administration’s policies and enforcement tactics. He said planning for the March action began before recent deadly incidents in Minnesota and that those events have added urgency to organizers' calls for action.

“It is, unfortunately, not a surprise to us that this lawless police force is committing crimes all across the country and that people are standing up to it,” Levin said. “Our goal is safeguarding American democracy, protecting our communities and the people who are under threat by this regime.”

Attendance goals and past turnout

Indivisible estimates that roughly 3 million people attended its “Hands Off” rally in April 2025, about 5 million participated in the first “No Kings” protest in June, and roughly 7 million took part in the second “No Kings” demonstration in October. Organizers say they are now aiming for nearly 9 million participants on March 28.

Recent events cited by organizers

Levin referenced recent killings in Minnesota — including the death of Renee Good, whom organizers say was shot by an immigration officer, and the killing of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents — as part of the motivation for the protest. He described the developments in Minnesota as “tragic and horrific” and said they underscore the urgency behind the nationwide action.

Safety preparations and criticisms

Organizers say they are taking safety precautions: Indivisible has hosted de‑escalation and non‑violent documentation training sessions for the public and trained thousands of volunteer marshals to help maintain peaceful demonstrations. Levin pointed to reports that major cities recorded zero arrests during the last “No Kings” demonstration as evidence the approach can work, but he also cautioned there are unavoidable risks to participants.

“Based on how the regime is behaving, the fact of the matter is, everybody should worry about it,” Levin said. “I can't guarantee that there isn’t a risk involved to show up and exercise your constitutional rights. It's a terrible thing to have to say in 2026 in America, but it's the truth.”

The protest has drawn criticism from President Trump and some Republican leaders. Ahead of the October marches — which occurred during a government shutdown — House Speaker Mike Johnson called the demonstrations “hate America” rallies, and the president’s political accounts posted a mocking image of him wearing a crown.

What to expect next

Indivisible is continuing outreach and training in the weeks ahead of March 28. Organizers say they hope the nationwide action will be peaceful, widely attended and spotlight their concerns about federal enforcement practices and accountability.
