Wilmette No Kings Protest Planned For Saturday

WILMETTE, IL — Protestors will take to the streets this weekend for another round of No Kings protests.

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.

The Wilmette protest will take place from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Village Hall at 1200 Wilmette Ave.

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. Organizers say attendance could surpass the 7 million who attended an event last October.

The upcoming demonstrations come amid heightened political tensions, including backlash over federal immigration operations and U.S. involvement in an escalating conflict with Iran.

The main “No Kings” event in downtown Chicago will take place at Butler Field in Grant Park, East Jackson Drive & South Columbus Drive, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
