Sioux Falls to Join Nationwide ‘No Kings’ Protest on March 28
The local protest is planned on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Drake Springs Park
Sioux Falls residents are expected to join a nationwide “No Kings” day of action on Saturday, March 28, with a local protest planned from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Drake Springs Park, organizers said.
The Sioux Falls event, organized by Indivisible 605, is part of protests planned in more than 2,800 cities across all 50 U.S. states and territories, according to the group. Organizers said they expect thousands of people to attend the local demonstration.
The protest is the third “No Kings” event held in Sioux Falls and follows two earlier demonstrations that drew increasing turnout, organizers said. They said this event will include some different speakers from the previous Sioux Falls protest we covered, along with music and other activities.
Planned programming includes Singing Resistance Sioux Falls, a separate group that performs at protests, and “Signs of Fascism,” an Indivisible 605 effort in which participants display signs highlighting what the group describes as authoritarian features of the Trump administration.
Organizers said the event will also feature booths from local organizations working with people affected by the administration’s policies, giving attendees a chance to connect with advocacy and community groups during the demonstration.
Indivisible 605 said it will also promote its “Nationwide Red Line Campaign,” which encourages participants to write letters to their members of Congress urging them to oppose administration actions. Organizers said attendees will be given red crayons to complete the letters.
They also said the local protest is intended to call attention to what the group sees as threats to democracy, civil rights and voting rights under the Trump administration.
According to organizers, the broader “No Kings” movement is meant to underscore that political power in the United States rests with voters, not individual leaders.
