"The first No Kings #protest took place in June of 2025... roughly 2,100 separate rallies & approximately 5 million participants, making it one of if not the largest protests in our #history.

Then came No Kings 2 in October of 2025. The movement grew to about 2,700 events & 7 million participants...

#NoKings 3 is set for this Saturday March 28, 2026... Organizers are preparing for over 3,100 events worldwide."

Text from article(edited for length): Reason to Show Up No. 4: Building toward a Tipping Point Fascism expert professor Erica Chenoweth found that 3.5 percent of the populace actively organizing is historically sufficient to stop authoritarian consolidation of power. She based her findings on a study of over 300 anti-regime campaigns between 1900 and 2006, both successful and unsuccessful. A sustained resistance, Chenoweth concluded, creates shifting loyalties within a regime’s own national security or political base. If that base believes the despot’s time is up, it won’t want to be on the losing side. The number is not a hard and fast rule, just a descriptive trend. But it matters here because No Kings protests build the raw numbers of resisters while training them in organized, peaceful action. We may need that training come November, if and when Trump challenges the midterm results. Just this week, his top deputy at the Justice Department, Todd Blanche, once Trump’s personal criminal attorney, endorsed sending ICE agents to polling places. Should that happen, as appears possible, nonviolent mass resistance will be needed to preserve the actual outcome of the election and to compel a handover of power to the Democrats in Congress. It’s time to start building that muscle memory now. I hope these reasons help convince you to join us tomorrow. It’s an all hands-on-deck moment.... Go to NoKings.org to find a protest near you.
