Indivisible Sets March 28 'No Kings 3' Protests With Minneapolis–St. Paul Flagship Amid Immigration Crackdown
Indivisible has scheduled a nationwide "No Kings 3" protest wave for March 28, 2026, with a flagship march in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro that organizers — including co‑executive director Ezra Levin — say could draw as many as 9 million people and has been focused on Minnesota after the deployment of roughly 3,000 federal agents and the fatal ICE/Border Patrol shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good. The march follows recent coordinated walkouts that drew thousands into the streets in cities such as Atlanta, New York City, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C., including high‑school student walkouts, and is being promoted by organizers as resistance to what they describe as efforts to consolidate and expand President Trump’s power.

📊 Analysis & Commentary (1)
"The essay argues that while disruptive protest (exemplified by the planned Jan. 20 'Free America' walkouts) is necessary to register moral and political outrage, it is not enough on its own—movements must convert protest energy into institutional power, electoral strategy, and durable organizing to achieve lasting change."
