The group behind the nationwide “No Kings” protests are planning their fourth demonstration of President Donald Trump’s second term — and are anticipating even greater turnout than their earlier rallies. Yes, you read that right, their planning the 4th protest already. Ezra Levin, a rally organizer and the co-founder of the progressive group Indivisible, said in an interview that the planned third “No Kings” protest on March 28 is in response to a “secret police force terrorizing American communities.”
“It is unfortunately not a surprise to us that this lawless police force is committing crimes all across the country and that people are standing up to it,” said Levin. “Our goal is safeguarding American democracy, protecting our communities and the people who are under threat by this regime.” Organizers said they are aiming for nearly 9 million people to turn out in March, an additional 2 million more than the last protest in October. Trump and his GOP allies have not been fans of the demonstrations but that's fine, nobody wants a pedophile running the country, alleged or not.
Levin said the organizers are taking safety precautions, including holding de-escalation training sessions. On Monday, the group held a session on non-violent documentation techniques for the public. And at the last “No Kings” protest, Levin said Indivisible trained thousands of volunteer marshals, emphasizing non-violent principles. I'll be attending the protest on Saturday, march 28 & hope to see y'all there.
