'No Kings' Events Expected To Draw Crowds Across East End Saturday

EAST END, NY — Once again across the United States, millions will take to the streets Saturday for "No Kings" protests, speaking out against the authoritarianism they believe is festering in the United States under President Donald Trump.

"Masked secret police terrorizing our communities. An illegal, catastrophic war putting us in danger and driving up our costs. Attacks on our freedom of speech, our civil rights, our freedom to vote," No Kings organizers said on their website. "Costs pushing families to the brink. Trump wants to rule over us as a tyrant. But this is America, and power belongs to the people — not to wannabe kings or their billionaire cronies. On March 28th, we show up together, and we say, loud and clear: No Kings."

Protests are taking place across all five East End towns.

Riverhead: County Center: 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Greenport: Mitchell Park: 10 a.m. until noon.

Sag Harbor: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

East Hampton Town Hall: 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Riverhead, Suffolk County Supreme Court: Noon to 2:30 p.m. The event will begin with a student-led march from Riverhead High School to Town Hall. At Town Hall at 1 p.m., those present will call upon the town board to respond to ICE and adopt new OLA legislation calling for transparency, accountability. A march to the Suffolk County Supreme Court will take place next, followed by a rally from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Supreme Court, located at 235 Griffing Avenue.

Hampton Bays: Noon to 2 p.m.

Southampton: 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The events mark the third nationwide "No Kings" efforts. The first "No Kings" event in 2025 is estimated to have brought out about 5 million nationwide, according to organizers — and about 7 million participated last fall at the second effort, CNN said.
