'No Kings' Rally Making A Return To Newton

The nationwide rallies are organized by Indivisible and its local branches.

NEWTON, MA — A popular political rally is returning to the city this weekend as part of a nationwide movement.

A “No Kings” protest is expected to take place at the Newton Center Green on the corner of Beacon and Centre Streets on Saturday, March 28. Participants will come together at approximately 12 p.m., with organizers expecting the event to last 90 minutes.

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 President Donald Trump and his administration. 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.

Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever," Indivisible leadership said in a statement. "When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence."
