A third No Kings National Day of Protest will be held in 3,000 cities in all 50 states, including nearly a dozen in Louisiana Saturday, according to Indivisible Baton Rouge, which is sponsoring the event in Baton Rouge and in at least three of the other cities where it has active chapters.
NO-KINGS III DAY IS SATURDAY
“Indivisible is a nationwide movement of everyday people organizing in all 50 states to stop the rise of authoritarianism in the United States and to build a real democracy that works for all of us,” a press release by the organization said.
“A core principle of all Indivisible events is our commitment to non-violent action. Participants will act lawfully at all times and will seek to de-escalate potential confrontations with anyone who violently disagrees with our principles.”
There will be several motivational speakers for the Baton Rouge event, including Robert Mann and Quentin Anthony Anderson. There will also be a food drive to benefit needy people in the Baton Rouge area. Needed items include non-perishable food items, coffee, sugar, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, dish soap, toothpaste, bath soap, and funds for baby diapers and formula, and fresh fruit, vegetables and meats.
“As Trump escalates his attempts to control every aspect of people’s lives and destroy our tradition of free and fair elections, it is on We the People to fight to protect one another and our country,” the release said.
“Generations of Americans have fought to secure fundamental freedom and dignity for all of us. We won’t back down against the chaos, corruption and cruelty that are the hallmarks of this regime.
“That’s why on Saturday, March 28, millions will take to the streets and gather together once again for a National Day of Action to protest the Trump regime’s corruption and attacks on our democracy, rights, healthcare and reproductive freedom to demand: No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings!”

If organizers are worried about keeping he momentum up for the protests, Donald Trump has accommodated their efforts with his ever-increasing craziness.
If you have concerns about ICE murdering Americans, if you have questions about the imprisonment and deportation of American citizens and non-violent immigrants, if you are opposed to the U.S. becoming bogged down in yet another senseless Mideast war, if you worry about the policies that deny health coverage to Americans, if you fear for your voting rights, if fascism scares you, if you just don’t like authoritarianism in general, then you need to make your presence felt tomorrow.
