As the No Kings 3 protest approaches on March 28, it looks like it is on track to be substantially bigger than all the previous national days of anti-Trump protest. I’ve been watching the number of No Kings events listed on Mobilize go up each day since last Wednesday, and based on that trend, expect the mobilization will reach somewhere between 3,300 and 3,600 locations nationwide. Indivisible Plymouth will be holding a No Kings rally on March 28 from 1:00-2:00 PM on Cole’s Hill.
If people think protests don’t matter, just remember Elon Mask’s DOGE being terminated due to the Tesla protests or Congress voted near unanimously to force the release of the Epstein files only after seven million turned out for No Kings 2 in mid-October. Harvard didn’t make its decision to hold firm and sue the administration until after the first big Hands Off rallies of April 5, 2025, and there’s clear reporting showing that university administrators stiffened their spines in response to the rallies. Yes, protests do work.
