No Kings Protest: Boston, MA
This Saturday, March 28th, an estimated 180,000 people gathered in the Boston Common for the third, nationwide No Kings Protest. From students to veterans, to fangirls and furry friends, Bostonians came together to educate themselves, empower each other, and celebrate the importance of community and fighting back in the face of injustice.
The No Kings protests began in 2025, after President Donald Trump was sworn into office. They are a series of peaceful protests across the nation, from major cities such as NYC and Boston, to small rural communities and islands.These protests oppose the Trump administration’s policies and actions. They are aimed at fighting oppression, corruption in government, and more recently, ICE and the war in Iran. It is a great opportunity for people of any age to protest safely, learn more about the movement and what they can do to help, and to meet other people who care about the cause.
In Boston, speakers included Senator Warren, Senator Markey, and Marcelo Gomes da Silva. The event emphasize protecting the rights of everyone living in the United States, and the idea of power belonging to the people, not the government or the uber-wealthy.
Senator Ed Markey, Massachusetts-born and bred, speaks to an invigorated crowd.
Boston Common has been the meeting ground for many iconic movements, since the birth of our nation. Looks like the locals are continuing this tradition.
“The only ICE I want to see is 2 rivals in the rink!”
For some, this was their first protest ever. For others, their 50th!
Plenty of dogs came out to support!
When it comes to tyranny and oppression, no one is safe. “Believe me, they [the Trump administration] will come for you too.” said one speaker. That is why it is so important to protect yourself and your community. If you have someone’s back in their time of need, they’ll return the favor in your time of need. While not all of us have the means to donate to important causes, to strike, or to vote, there is power in numbers. Show up to protest. Show up for yourself. And show up for your community.
“The Power of the People is Stronger than the People in Power.”
A day of peaceful protesting comes to an end.
