Anti-authoritarian rallies, taking place in all 50 states plus 16 countries, are expected to be biggest in US history

Millions of Americans are expected to take to the streets on Saturday for the No Kings protests against the Trump administration. More than 3,000 events are planned in all 50 states, plus in 16 countries, according to a coalition of organizers that includes “anti-authoritarian” groups Indivisible and 50501, labor unions and other grassroots organizations.

“I would expect March 28 to be the biggest protest in American history,” said Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible.

Saturday’s protest will be the third No Kings; the last one in October drew 7 million people nationwide. A “flagship” event will be held in Minnesota’s Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St Paul, in recognition of residents’ resistance to the surge of Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents that descended on the cities this winter. The St Paul rally will feature Senator Bernie Sanders, actor Jane Fonda and musicians Bruce Springsteen and Joan Baez.

      What about their article about it from yesterday? Or last month when it started to get widely picked up on social media? The Guardian isn’t this “garbage media”. They’re a small -mid size company that doesn’t do what most of us complain about the big corporation media.

        I deleted my comment because after posting it I reread the headline and saw that it said “to see”.

        I thought it was already reporting on numbers of a protest that hadn’t happened yet.
