Demonstrations will be held across the US, with flagship event in Twin Cities, where ICE fatally shot two people
A third No Kings protest will be held on 28 March, organizers announced today. Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, one of the groups coordinating No Kings, said that he expects it to be āthe biggest protest in American historyā.
Protests will be held nationwide, with a flagship event in Minnesotaās Twin Cities ā Minneapolis and St Paul ā where this month federal immigration agents killed two residents, Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good, amid their escalated operations in the region.
Levin said No Kings 3 is a response to many Americansā growing outrage over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Securityās (DHS) āreign of terrorā in communities across the country. The coalition behind the No Kings protests also hosted a mass mobilization āweekend of actionā immediately following Goodās death, which included more than 1,000 protests, vigils and other events. According to recent polling from YouGov, more Americans now support abolishing ICE than oppose it.
I was referring to the leadership of organizations like Indivisible that are actually planning the protests, since those are the ones who set strategy.
You know what, fair enough. I still believe the pace is catastrophically slow, but I guess No Kings is more useful than I thought.
Not entirely, actually. That part surprised me when I first went. They couldnāt control what I handed out to people for sure, and there were numerous organizations with stand-up tents there that werenāt listed as part of the official organizations, and one of them even explicitly mentioned to me that the organizers werenāt happy with them being there, but they didnāt care and had set up 4 separate booths around the general area of the protest.
That I can 100% agree on. Though it does seem like the pace is picking up more as time goes on.
