On March 28, for the third time in less than a year, several million people across the country came out in what the organizers called “No Kings” protests in over 3,000 cities and towns.
The protesters were loud and had a lot of energy. The majority of signs that people carried, both homemade and printed, were denunciations of Trump, the wannabe king, who is trying to impose a more authoritarian regime. Some people brought signs protesting the war on Iran. There were also a lot of signs against Trump’s ICE goon squad—“ICE Out”. People had a lot of reasons to protest and it is important that so many people were ready to speak out.
One of the biggest protests was in Minneapolis-St. Paul where an estimated 100,000 people rallied. That’s not a surprise since people in Minneapolis had organized their own actions in a defiant response to the ICE invasion of their city. These determined protests in Minneapolis led to the Trump administration backing down, at least for the time being, and pulling most ICE agents out of the city.
The perspective given by the groups who organized the “No Kings” protests was limited to a protest against Trump. These groups are linked to the Democratic Party, whose only answer is to wait for the next election and vote against the Republicans.
The actions by the people in Minneapolis, by relying on their own activity, show a different way forward.
