“No Kings,” a decentralized protest movement that crystallized against President Donald Trump’s second term, will hold thousands of events Saturday morning, according to Sarah Parker, organizer of one of the events in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The protests mark the most recent development for the amorphous group, which has sparked similar events in the past.
“Tomorrow we will have over 3,500 events across the country,” Parker said. “I think it’s important to take to the streets right now to save our country. The events will be overwhelmingly peaceful and millions of Americans of different affiliations, ages, and ethnic backgrounds will come together as one community.”
Parker did not describe how “No Kings” works with local figures to organize events, but said the protests aim to tap into local discontent with the administration.

“I think it’s organic. This is a movement powered by people. We have different local hosts who are volunteers who have stepped up to put on an event in their area, even in rural areas. We have hundreds of events in rural and deep states,” Parker said.
Unlike other organized organizations, “No Kings” is not a nonprofit, business, or formal organization, making its structure mysterious. Due to its lack of centralization, it has few or no financial reporting requirements and no easily identifiable leadership.
The “No Kings” first appeared on “No Kings Day” in June 2025, an event which, in the words of their website, inspired “a national uprising 14 times larger than both Trump inaugurations combined.”

Nearly a year later, protesters planned for Saturday hope to continue their opposition, touting their opposition to Trump’s recent actions in Iran and debates over immigration enforcement.
“A masked secret police are terrorizing our communities. An illegal, catastrophic war putting us in danger and increasing our costs. Attacks on our freedom of speech, our civil rights, our freedom to vote. The costs are pushing families to the brink,” their website reads.

Despite Parker’s definition of a decentralized movement, No Kings provides a highly structured document to organizers called the “March 28 Toolkit,” instructing viewers on how to recruit their own speakers, delegate roles, record their event, and use No Kings-branded media materials. It also outlines best practices for logistics as well as how to avoid licensing and insurance requirements for event organizers.

Notably, the document also includes a “host hotline,” providing a number with a Maryland area code.

Parker is not directly affiliated with No Kings. Instead, she described herself as part of 50501 – another decentralized organization that partners with No Kings. She did not describe the nature of the partnership or how they interacted within their equally decentralized structures.

When asked what 50501 meant, Parker said the name originally meant “50 states, 50 capitals, one day.”
It is also not registered as a non-profit organization or business.

When asked who should listen to No Kings’ messages, Parker said she thinks lawmakers should pay attention.
“I think this is for any elected official who is no longer listening to their constituents. This should be a message for any elected official, regardless of political affiliation,” Parker said.
