'No Kings' Protests Planned In Somerset County: See Locations

SOMERSET COUNTY, NJ — Another round of “No Kings” protests against President Donald Trump are scheduled for this weekend, including several rallies in Somerset County.

In Somerset County, local protests are scheduled to happen at the Somerset County Courthouse in Somerville and off Route 22 in North Plainfield.

Protests are expected to take place across the nation on Saturday, March 28. See a map of locations here.

The demonstrations are being organized independently by local advocacy groups and community members. Dozens of national groups and nonprofits are supporting the events as partners.

The nationwide mobilization - billed as the largest single-day protest in U.S. history - is being organized across the nation to protest President Trump as a tyrant and authoritarian.

"Just months ago, millions of people took to the streets across thousands of events to say no to Trump's abuses of power, and today that movement is only growing. With every ICE raid, every escalation abroad, and every abuse of power at home, Americans are rising up in opposition to Trump's attempt to rule through force and fear," said Ezra Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible. "That is why people across the country are organizing, showing up for their neighbors, and making one thing unmistakably clear: we are done with the corruption, the cruelty, and the authoritarianism. This No Kings will be the largest protest in American history."

"When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option," organizers said. "We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence."

Trump has fired back at demonstrators, denying that he is a “king” and saying that he “works his ass off to make our country great.” The president has dismissed the protesters, saying that they don’t represent the majority of the country.

“The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective and the people were whacked out,” he said after the last round of protests.

This will be the third round of No Kings rallies that have taken place since Trump took office for his second term.
