\u201cTrump\u2019s authoritarianism, grift, and pro-oligarchy agenda is making our country less healthy, free, and just.\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A third No Kings nationwide protest<\/a> has been scheduled, US organizers announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official No Kings Coalition website revealed<\/a> that the next day of protest will take place on Saturday, March 28, with a flagship rally set to take place in Minnesota\u2019s Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coalition said that the third edition of the No Kings protest is being planned in response to the Trump administration\u2019s \u201cescalation in Minnesota,\u201d where federal immigration<\/a> enforcement agents have so far killed two local residents: Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three children<\/a>, and Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Trump regime is doubling down on fear and force to intimidate communities and silence dissent,\u201d said<\/a> Ezra Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible, a key organizer of No Kings events. \u201cWhat we are seeing in Minnesota is a tragic example of that, with immigrant families and Black and brown communities being terrorized. From Alex Pretti to Renee Good to the tens of thousands showing up in subzero weather, we are also seeing a massive movement of brave people standing up for their neighbors and against this regime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But while the main event for No Kings 3 will be held in Minnesota, organizers emphasized that the effects of the Trump administration\u2019s attacks on immigrant communities are being felt across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association, said<\/a> that teachers all over the US are seeing their classrooms dwindle in size as students are increasingly fearful of being picked up by federal agents if they leave their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we are seeing instead is a stunning lack of humanity,\u201d Pringle said. \u201cAbsences are rising, mental health needs are spiking, and trauma is being injected into classrooms nationwide\u2014harming students of every background and immigration status.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Weissman and Lisa Gilbert, co-presidents of Public Citizen<\/a>, said that President Donald Trump\u2019s actions on immigration were just one part of a broader authoritarian agenda that must be resisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrump\u2019s authoritarianism<\/a>, grift, and pro-oligarchy agenda is making our country less healthy, free, and just,\u201d they said. \u201cAs [Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a>] agents invade cities and towns, targeting and harassing Brown, Black, and Asian people because of the color of their skin, brutalizing immigrants, arresting small children, pepper spraying protesters, killing people in detention and on the street, Americans everywhere must peacefully pour into the streets and loudly and say we refuse to live in a kingdom ruled by a wannabe dictator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bishop William J. Barber<\/a> II, president of Repairers of the Breach, said that demonstrators at the event shouldn\u2019t just be thinking about how to resist the Trump administration<\/a>, but how to build a better nation after he inevitably leaves office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmericans from every walk of life have come together and built a movement that says, \u2018We will not bow,\u2019\u201d said Barber. \u201cAt this moment, we must say resistance is essential, but it\u2019s not enough. We\u2019re going to build power loving forward together to reconstruct an America where all of us can thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The No Kings 2 demonstrations, which took place on October 18 and drew an\u00a0estimated<\/a>\u00a05 million protesters, were among the largest one-day demonstrations in US history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
