TWIN CITIES, Minn. (FNN) — Organizers say millions of Americans are expected to participate Saturday in the “No Kings” National Day of Nonviolent Action, with more than 3,300 events planned across the United States in what advocates describe as one of the largest coordinated protest efforts of the year.

The demonstrations are being held in communities across the country — including major cities, suburbs and rural areas — as participants voice opposition to policies of the administration of Donald Trump. Organizers say the movement reflects growing concerns about immigration enforcement, foreign policy and election integrity.

According to event organizers, roughly two-thirds of registered participants come from outside major urban areas, signaling broad geographic participation in the nationwide demonstrations.

“This is not just a big-city phenomenon,” organizers said in a statement. “People in suburbs, small towns and rural communities are also mobilizing to make their voices heard.”

Events Planned Across the Country

The flagship gathering is scheduled in the Twin Cities, where participants will march from multiple locations in St. Paul before converging for a rally at the Minnesota State Capitol.

Across the country, organizers have planned creative demonstrations and community gatherings intended to highlight unity and civic engagement.

Examples of planned events include:

• In Kotzebue, Alaska, the northernmost event in the Arctic Circle is expected to symbolize nationwide solidarity.
• In Tucson, participants plan to form an eight-mile human chain stretching toward Oro Valley.
• In Redding, Connecticut, organizers will host a community line dance and human chain demonstration.
• In Framingham, participants are organizing a rally “crawl,” encouraging residents to attend multiple gatherings throughout the day, including plans to create a human peace sign.
• In Fort Worth, more than 40 groups are expected to gather along bridges and visible areas near Interstate 35 as part of a coordinated demonstration spanning from the Canadian border to southern Texas.
• In Charleston, organizers will host a family-friendly riverside event focused on civic education for youth.

Broad Coalition of Organizations

The nationwide demonstrations are being organized by a coalition of advocacy groups and labor organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, American Federation of Teachers, MoveOn, Human Rights Campaign, National Nurses United, and SEIU, among others.

Organizers say the goal of the coordinated demonstrations is to promote nonviolent civic engagement and encourage participation in the democratic process.

More information about participating organizations and events is available through the coalition’s website.
