The No Kings protests are a series of nationwide demonstrations across the United States. The events are organized by a coalition of over 200 organizations, including MoveOn, the American Civil Liberties Union, American Federation of Teachers and the Communications Workers of America. The organizers of the movement oppose President Donald Trump and his administration on what it perceives as "authoritarian acts" and "abuses of power." The first protest was held in June 2025, with another in October that same year. Protesters across the country will be gathering again on Saturday March 28, 2026, with over 100 events planned across Michigan.
