More than 3,000 No Kings protest events in the United States were bolstered by activists across the world opposing Donald Trump.

Rallies against the president were formed across the US, but also in Germany, Italy, and Australia. Protestors in Paris, France, were spotted holding up "Dump Trump" signs while those in the streets of Madrid, Spain, rallied around a sign reading, "Power to the people." A previous No Kings movement occurred on June 14, 2025, the same day as Trump's birthday. Further protests followed in October, and a third set of rallies across the world took place today (March 28).

Protestors in Amsterdam carried a placard reading, "WTF America," The Daily Beast reported. In Sydney, a man held up a sign that read “We can’t stand him either."

Naveed Shah, who founded the Common Defense group in 2016 to rally military veterans for the sake of progressive politics, spoke of the rapid No Kings growth.

He said, "When I stood at the first ‘No Kings’ rally, we were fighting to protect democracy at home and against federal agents and troops that were deployed on American streets, against a government that was manufacturing a crisis to justify using its power against its own people.

"Today, we’re still fighting that same fight, but now that manufactured crisis has gone global." MoveOn executive director Katie Bethell added their grassroots support to the No Kings protests.

"Our members will be turning out peacefully in the streets because they believe in a better future for this country, and they can’t sit by on the sidelines about what Trump and his administration are doing to our home," she said. "Let’s be clear, the Trump administration has become a threat to the American people at every level. They are waging violence at home and abroad."

An estimated 7 million people showed up to rally against the Trump administration in October — more than the 5 million or so who protested in June — and No Kings organizers are anticipating nearly 9 million people will take to the streets this weekend.
