NEW YORK (WABC) — ‘No Kings’ protests are planned in New York City and the Tri-State area today as part of a nationwide series of more than 3,100 planned events that are expected to draw millions of people in all 50 states.
March 28 marks a third round of No Kings protests, which often have a street festival vibe.
The protest series is organized by a broad coalition of groups opposed to what they call authoritarianism under Trump, and his attempts to consolidate and expand his power.
Organizers say more than 5 million people took to the streets at more than 2,100 events last June, followed by more than 7 million people at more than 2,700 events last October.

An estimated 300,000 New Yorkers rallied last October, according to organizers, and even more are anticipated at multiple rallies planned across the five boroughs.
The Manhattan March is expected to be the largest, kicking off at 2 p.m. Traffic will likely be disrupted in some areas near the marches.

Minnesota is the flagship of the No Kings protest movement. Bruce Springsteen plans to perform “Streets of Minneapolis” in the state, where emotions are still raw over President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown and the deaths of two residents shot by federal officers.
Organizers told a state oversight agency that 100,000 people could converge on the Capitol complex in St. Paul, where last June’s event drew an estimated 80,000 people.
Besides Springsteen, the St. Paul rally will also feature singer Joan Baez and actor Jane Fonda, who’ve been noted for their activism since the Vietnam War era, and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a hero of the progressive movement, along with a long list of other national and local activists, labor leaders and elected officials.
