It seems as though a new reason for groups to feel compelled to protest appears on a weekly basis. Such has certainly been the case since President Donald Trump’s 2025 return to the White House. Arguably the most prominent example of groups rallying together to protest over the past year has been the collective efforts of the No Kings marches and demonstrations across the U.S over the past few months.
The next No Kings protest in Dallas takes place on Saturday, March 28 at City Hall Plaza from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Although voices crying out against the U.S. military action in Iran will likely be at the top of mind for many protestors this weekend, a wide range of issues have taken center stage during previous No Kings events. During the June 14 rally in Dallas, people displaying signs with messaging aimed at Trump’s immigration policies, the Russia-Ukraine war and Trump’s own felonious record could be seen among the masses. In a press release, organizers say that more than 18,000 people took part in the June and October No Kings events around North Texas.
“Just months ago, millions of people took to the streets across thousands of events to say no to Trump’s abuses of power, and today that movement is only growing,” said Ezra Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible, one of the groups planning the series of protests. “With every ICE raid, every escalation abroad, and every abuse of power at home, Americans are rising up in opposition to Trump’s attempt to rule through fear and force. Each day Trump crosses a new red line, and more people are deciding they’ve had enough.”
Who Organizes No Kings Protests?
Many partner organizations are involved in organizing the events, including the ACLU, American Federation of Teachers, Common Defense, 50501, Human Rights Campaign, Indivisible, League of Conservation Voters, MoveOn, National Education Association, National Nurses United, Public Citizen, SEIU and United We Dream.

What to Know Before You Go
The crowds have increased with each passing No Kings event. Thanks to the publicity the events have received from top Republican lawmakers who oppose most, if not all, of the points often expressed at these events, it’s likely to again be crowded on Saturday at many No Kings rallies.
Organizers stress that these rallies are to be peaceful gatherings, noting in the press release that “All No Kings events adhere to a shared commitment to nonviolent protest and community safety.Organizers are trained in de-escalation and are working closely with local partners to ensure peaceful and powerful actions nationwide.”
