From New York to Alaska, the movement has now reached rural areas and spread globally, signaling a new phase in resistance to the U.S. President.
“No kings, no ICE, no war”: Millions of protesters, joined by celebrities like Bruce Springsteen and Robert De Niro, took to the streets on Saturday, March 28, across the United States to condemn Donald Trump, his anti-immigration crackdown, and the conflict with Iran.
In Minneapolis (Minnesota), Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), and Boston (Massachusetts), crowds marched with anti-war signs and peace symbols, one month into Middle East hostilities and ahead of midterm elections in November.
The No Kings movement claimed a record turnout for its third major rally against the Republican in a year—over 8 million participants in more than 3,300 marches spanning cities, suburbs, and countryside. Organizers estimated a jump of one million people and 600 events compared to the prior wave in October 2025. U.S. authorities released no official counts.
Minneapolis, ground zero for Trump’s harsh immigration sweeps and early backlash, drew over 200,000 by organizers’ tally. Rock legend Bruce Springsteen—outspoken Trump critic—performed his hastily written “Streets of Minneapolis,” dedicated to Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two locals gunned down by federal agents amid immigration raids.
“Your courage and resolve prove this is still America, and that reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities won’t stand,” Springsteen told Minnesota crowds. “You’ve given us hope—you’ve given us strength!”
At the state capitol steps, two huge banners captured the mood: “We had whistles, they had guns” and “The revolution starts in Minnesota.” After speeches by singer Joan Baez and actress Jane Fonda, Governor Tim Walz thanked residents for defying a “budding dictator.” Bernie Sanders, ex-Democratic presidential contender, piled on: “We’ll never accept a president who’s a pathological liar, kleptocrat, and narcissist undermining the Constitution and rule of law daily.” The crowd roared, sensing political change ahead.
In New York, longtime Trump foe Robert De Niro addressed tens of thousands: “Other presidents have pushed constitutional boundaries, but none threaten our freedoms and security this deeply. We must stop him.”
Across the Atlantic, solidarity rallies hit Rome, Amsterdam, and Madrid—while Trump spent Saturday afternoon golfing at his Florida private club. Around 20,000 marched in Italy’s capital, also cheering a far-right government’s referendum defeat on justice issues. “We reject a world ruled by kings and oligarchs who decide over our heads, fight the people, and war among themselves,” said 29-year-old Milan researcher Andrea Nossa.
