A large-scale national demonstration is on the horizon, set for March 28, organized by the grassroots group Indivisible. This event, dubbed “No Kings 3,” seeks to rally public sentiment against immigration enforcement, particularly in Minnesota, which has become a key battleground for opposition to the current administration’s policies. Organizers expect protests across the nation, with a primary march scheduled in the Twin Cities.
Ezra Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible, made a bold prediction about the anticipated turnout, telling The Associated Press that it could reach as many as 9 million participants. Levin framed the event as a crucial response to what he describes as “heinous attacks on our democracy and communities.” With nearly 3,000 federal agents deployed to Minnesota for immigration enforcement, the state is now a focal point for mobilizing dissent against federal actions.
Levin asserts, “This is in large part a response to a combination of the heinous attacks on our democracy and communities coming from the regime, and a sense that nobody’s coming to save us.” This characterization intensifies the urgency felt by many within Indivisible and its supporters as they prepare for the forthcoming protests.
The recent surge in enforcement activity has reshaped the purpose of the planned demonstrations. Tragic incidents, including the fatal shootings of individuals during encounters with federal agents, have heightened tensions and galvanized activists. Last year’s protests, which attracted more than 7 million participants in a second round on October 18, reflect a growing mobilization against the broader enforcement agenda associated with the Trump administration. Demonstrations took place in roughly 2,700 locations across all 50 states, emphasizing widespread discontent.
Levin’s comments suggest an ongoing commitment to raising awareness beyond the significant protest dates. The group plans to hold training sessions aimed at monitoring immigration enforcement, reinforcing the notion that these protests are part of a larger strategy. He stated clearly, “This isn’t about Democrats versus Republicans. This is about whether we have a democracy at all.” Such a statement indicates a framing of the issue as one that transcends party lines, seeking to unite various factions around a common cause. It underscores the view that ongoing immigration enforcement is a threat not only to individuals but also to the democratic framework itself.
Indivisible’s history of organizing major actions reflects their approach to advocacy. The first round of “No Kings” protests took place on June 14, 2025, focusing on immigration policies amid unrest fueled by federal policies. With their movement becoming more entrenched, the group’s methods and intentions resonate with supporters who feel voiceless against federal decisions impacting their communities.
As the date approaches, anticipation builds around whether “No Kings 3” will fulfill Levin’s ambitious predictions. The focus on Minnesota, now a flashpoint for immigration enforcement protests, signals a strategic choice likely aimed at maximizing visibility and impact. The decisions made during this upcoming demonstration may well set the tone for future activism surrounding immigration and democracy itself.
