No Kings Protest Planned This Weekend In Stamford

STAMFORD, CT — A third round of No Kings protests will take place in cities across the country on Saturday, including in Stamford, according to organizers.

The No Kings movement gained national attention last year when millions of people participated in coordinated protests in thousands of cities and towns. Organized by a coalition of progressive groups, the protests aimed to reject the policies and actions of the Trump administration.

Saturday's planned protest in Stamford is scheduled for noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Stamford/Norwalk Judicial District (Superior Court), 123 Hoyt St.

Last year, No Kings protests were held in June and October, drawing millions across the country. The October event attracted an estimated 7 million people in the United States.

National organizers said in a statement they expect turnout to surpass previous events, potentially making March 28 one of the largest one-day protests in U.S. history. More than 3,000 events are planned in every congressional district in all 50 states, and more events are added daily.

In addition to Stamford, No Kings protests are scheduled in the following Connecticut communities: Milford, Glastonbury, Warren, Durham, Canton, Ellington, Old Saybrook, Morris, Cheshire, Wilton, Litchfield, Bethel, Salisbury, Guilford, Fairfield, Waterbury, Brookfield, Middletown, Westport, Enfield, Killingly, Stonington, Cornwall, New Milford, Bristol, Ridgefield, Branford, Manchester, Westport, Farmington, Newtown, Kent, Granby, Windsor, Greenwich, Windham, Suffield, Somers, East Lyme, Danbury, Norwalk, Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, New Britain, Middletown, New London, Norwich, and Torrington.
