This weekend, for the third time, “No Kings Day” will be held, with crowds fanning out across the United States. Organizers say it’s a large-scale protest event aimed at expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of American politics and President Donald Trump.
Originally set for President Trump’s birthday last June, participants in the first No Kings Day prompted a second round of demonstrations in October, and organizers are now planning a third day of protests for March 28.
