Organizers Across Michigan Plan Saturday Marches

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Organizers across the country and locally in West Michigan are planning demonstrations this weekend as part of the latest round of "No Kings" protests.

Planned for Saturday, March 28, the rallies, which drew millions of participants last year, are set to be aimed at opposing President Donald Trump and his administration.

The demonstrations come as lawmakers face a pending Senate vote related to ending the partial government shutdown. Advocacy groups, alongside labor and civil-rights organizations, have said the marches are meant to highlight concerns over immigration enforcement, voting rights, economic issues and other policies.

The demonstrations will mark the third national day of protests in the No Kings movement.

About the No Kings Movement

The No Kings movement represents a growing national protest movement that emerged in 2025. The movement draws support from various advocacy groups, labor organizations, and civil-rights groups. Participants cite concerns about immigration enforcement, voting rights, economic policies, and other administration actions as motivations for joining the demonstrations.

The movement has gained significant traction, with millions of participants joining protests across the country last year. Organizers say the protests continue as a way to voice opposition to the current administration's policies and direction.

"These demonstrations are about more than just one administration," said a local organizer. "They represent a broader movement for change and accountability."

The protests are expected to draw significant turnout across West Michigan and throughout the country this Saturday.
