No Kings Protest Planned In Marlborough Saturday

MARLBOROUGH, MA — Another wave of No Kings protests will take place in cities and towns across the country on Saturday, including in multiple places in Massachusetts.

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.

One No Kings protest is planned in Marlborough at:

• Union Common (Main Street) from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Organizers said in a statement that they expect turnout to surpass that of 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 across all 50 states, with more 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 No Kings message is centered on defending democratic institutions and ensuring that political power remains with the public rather than concentrated in a single leader.

“Americans may disagree on policy, but we agree on two fundamental values: that we should be governed by ourselves, not kings, and that there is a basic goodness at our core,” Randi Weingarten, president of Americans for Tax Fairness, one of the more than 150 partnering organizations in the No Kings coalition, said in the statement.
