The March 28 No Kings Protests: The Largest to Date
On Saturday, March 28, the third major No Kings protest took place, within both major cities and small communities all over the country. This has been the largest No Kings protest to date, those in attendance counting at over eight million throughout more than 3,300 organized events.
Since the initial No Kings protest on June 14, 2025, numbers have only expanded while still pushing against the same issues currently concerning many throughout the country. The No Kings official website states that “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.”
The protests are aimed to fight against the authoritarian policies and actions taken by the Trump Administration, especially within the last year of Trump’s second term. The country-wide protest has reinforced the importance of free speech, peaceful demonstration, and the importance of community when facing authoritarianism.
Protesters have demanded the Trump Administration to stop overreaching the rule of the executive branch, especially the current war taking place in Iran and the deployment of ICE agents into communities all over the country. Those from a range of diverse backgrounds, experiences, and walks of life have united to protest against a common power, signifying the power of community.
Bridgewater was one of the many communities involved in this protest. The Bridgewater Community for Civil Rights (BCCR) hosted their own stand-out right outside of campus, located in Bridgewater’s Central Square. Much like other events taking place in major cities like New York, Minneapolis, and Boston, the BCCR equally protested against the rise of authoritarianism in America.
