No Kings Protests

‘I am emotionally determined that we have a fight on our hands as a nation and as individuals, all of us, that we cannot let up.’ The third “No Kings” protest of Donald Trump’s second term lured crowds across Florida, even in areas dominated by Republican voters.

Organizers say more than 3,100 events, including more than two dozen in South Florida, from the Keys to Palm Beach County, have been registered in all 50 states, with more than 9 million people expected to participate.

A nonprofit group whose board includes high-profile dissident Republicans placed advertisements in 27 newspapers in Florida Monday to promote the “No Kings” rallies protesting President Donald Trump and his administration scheduled to take place Saturday, March 28.

Protesting the direction of the country under President Donald Trump, and what organizers call his authoritarian policies, millions of people gathered in communities across the U.S. for “No Kings” demonstrations.

More than 2,600 “No Kings” protests nationally will be held this Saturday — an increase from the roughly 2,000 nationwide demonstrations on June 14. In South Florida, more than a dozen protests are planned from Key West to Palm Beach Gardens.

Saturday's nationwide demonstrations against President Trump were largely about his alleged threats to democracy — but in communities like Miami, even Trump supporters decried his anti-immigrant crusade.
