"No Kings" protesters gathered from coast to coast, holding signs, chanting and donning elaborate costumes on Saturday, capping off the third such coordinated demonstration against President Donald Trump's actions and policies amid his second term. More than 3,000 events were expected throughout the nation.
Protesters rallied on March 28 in California, Tennessee, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, Florida, Texas, Washington, D.C., and other locations. The flagship U.S. rally in Saint Paul, Minnesota, included notable names such as the state's Gov. Tim Walz, Sen. Bernie Sanders, legendary actress Jane Fonda, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and a performance of "Streets of Minneapolis" from Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen.
In the nation's capital, demonstrators gathered around a group of musicians banging on drums, and some overturned buckets, chanting to the rhythm: "Hey Congress, do your job!" A Palestinian flag was seen waving among the crowd. One person even came dressed in an inflatable Pikachu costume; another wore red "Handmaid's Tale" robes.
Demonstrators flocked to protests around the country to march, stand in crowds or line main streets. They chanted, waved signs and cheered as cars drove by honking in support. Some passed out water and sign-making supplies, or even set up lawn chairs, supporting the effort however they could.
