Organizers of today's (3/28/26) "No Kings" rallies across the country are predicting that the protests against the actions of President Donald Trump and his administration could add up to one of the largest demonstrations in U.S. history, with Minnesota (Bruce Springsteen is performing) taking center stage.

Organizers say more than 3,100 events have been registered in all 50 states, with more than 9 million people expected to participate.   Or as Trump would say, "Billions are showing up :-)!  It's going to be the biggest ever!"
