“This is the main event,” event organizers said in an Instagram post about the Twin Cities protests. “The one the whole country is watching.”
“This isn’t just another local protest,” they continued. “It’s a nationwide spotlight. If you’re in Minnesota, you’re not on the sidelines. You’re at the center of it. This is going to be massive. We’ll see you there.”
Washington, D.C.
Several events are being held in the Washington, D.C., area this Saturday, including a march into the city set to begin at 10 a.m. ET and rally on the National Mall starting at 1 p.m. ET. The previous “No Kings” demonstrations in October saw more than 200,000 protesters in the nation’s capital, organizers estimated, so it’s likely that this weekend’s protest will also draw a massive crowd.
Chicago
Organizers have planned multiple demonstrations in the Chicago area this Saturday.
“On March 28th, we will rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings—Hands off Chicago and hands off our democracy,” reads the description for one of the events, scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. CT in the city’s Grant Park. “As the atrocities from the Trump regime have grown, so has our resistance in Chicago and across the country. Help us show the nation and the world that Chicago is united in opposing the illegal, cruel, and destructive attacks against our neighbors, our communities and our democracy.”
