Another ‘No Kings’ protest is planned in Tri-Cities. See when and where

People across the nation are again gathering to protest President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies.

Millions have participated in “No Kings Day” protests across the country, with previous demonstrations in June and October.

The demonstrations are designed as peaceful protests showcasing the power of the masses.

“When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option,” No Kings Day organizers said. “We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence.”

The next No Kings rally will be held during the last weekend of March — and the No Kings Coalition expects it to be larger than both previous protests.

As of Monday, March 16, more than 1,000 protests were planned across the United States, according to organizers.

Here’s what to know:

What is No Kings Day?

Organizers have described No Kings Day as a “day of peaceful action.”

Several organizations — including the American Civil Liberties Union, American Federation of Teachers and League of Conservation Voters — have partnered with protest organizers.

More than 1,000 participants turned out for 2025 protests in Kennewick, the Tri-City Herald previously reported.

“On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings,” local organizers said. “We’re not watching history happen — we’re making it.”

Why are people protesting President Trump?

The theme for the Saturday demonstration is “No thrones, no crowns, no kings.”

Reasons for the protests include Trump’s “escalating attempts to control us,” including attacks on citizens and the rights of people of color, according to the No Kings website.

“America does not belong to strongmen, greedy billionaires or those who rule through fear,” organizers said. “It belongs to us, the people.”

When and where is the next No Kings protest in Tri-Cities?

The next nationwide No Kings protest will be held on Saturday, March 28, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

In Tri-Cities, the demonstration will be held at Columbia Center Boulevard in Kennewick and hosted by Indivisible Tri-Cities..

Prior demonstrations lined the sidewalk on Columbia Center Boulevard, starting near the mall and continuing down the block.

Organizers stressed their commitment to nonviolent action. Participants are asked to leave all weapons at home, including legally permitted weapons.
