MINNEAPOLIS, MN – In 2025, millions of Americans
came together in nonviolent protest to oppose the growing authoritarian actions
of the Trump administration and affirm that this nation belongs to its people,
not to kings. Since then, people have continued to rise up against ongoing
authoritarianism and federal abuses, including the administration’s latest
escalation in Minnesota. The No Kings Coalition has activated an immediate and
ongoing nationwide digital organizing effort leading up to their next mass
mobilization on March 28, including a flagship event in Minneapolis,
Minnesota.
No Kings launched its Eyes on ICE training program Monday,
a nationwide virtual training designed to equip people with tools to exercise
their rights and safely monitor federal enforcement actions. The first training drew a historic turnout of more than
200,000 viewers, and additional nationwide trainings will be ongoing, with
the next on February 5.
The Trump administration has escalated their brutality
and authoritarianism on families and immigrants in Minnesota and across the
country, killing people, including Keith Porter Jr., Renée Good, Alex Pretti,
and at least six people in ICE custody so far in 2026. Last year, 32 people
died in ICE custody, making it ICE’s deadliest year in more than two decades.
In 2026, the No Kings Coalition expanded its
anti-authoritarian movement by welcoming new partners, including even more of
those most impacted by the Trump administration’s brutality and authoritarian
actions. You can see a full list of partners at nokings.org/partners.
President Trump’s attempts to rule through repression
have called Americans across the nation to respond through morally grounded and
non-violent protest. Organizers are trained in de-escalation and are
coordinating closely with local partners to ensure non-violent, lawful,
disciplined, and powerful local actions.

Contrarians, stay engaged and keep watching this space
for updates. We will be out in force, coast-to-coast. Start prepping your signs
and preparing for this next great mobilization for this essential fight to
reclaim our country and our democracy.
