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 “the biggest protest in American history”.

Protests will be held nationwide, with a flagship event in Minnesota’s Twin Cities – Minneapolis and St Paul – 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 Americans’ growing outrage over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) “reign of terror” in communities across the country. The coalition behind the No Kings protests also hosted a mass mobilization “weekend of action” immediately following Good’s 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 mean, I've talked to them in person? I've seen them countless times before this, and many of them have been organizing before Trump was president. Not only that, but I've seen the outcomes.

The local ICE rapid response networks in my community would not have nearly as many members had they not gotten tons of people at the last No Kings protest near me to sign up for their newsletters, the local progressive candidate would have been guaranteed to lose the election without the slim margin added from people at the protest becoming aware of their candidacy, and my reps probably would not have become more vigilant in their anti-ICE sentiment as a primary talking point over just a general wishy washy vibe of not being okay with it had they not seen so many of their constituents turn out.

My community has a progressive candidate in office who has plans to prevent ICE actions, police misconduct, and also make where I live more affordable, it has thousands more people on standby with whistles and plans to disrupt ICE activity if it happens near them, and it has my representatives voting no on funding ICE, instead of voting yes and saying "but we'll give them QR codes though."

If that's not a concrete positive outcome, I don't know what is.
