Jackson added to March 28 No Kings protest sites
Mississippi’s capital city has been added to the list of thousands of planned peaceful protests across the United States focused on the Trump administration’s unconstitutional or illegal actions and overreach of executive power, including by the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency.
The events are part of the fifth national No Kings protests and the first focused on the killings by ICE agents of Renée Good, Keith Porter and Alex Pretti. Previous nationwide No Kings Protests were held in February, April, June and October 2025.
In Jackson, the protest is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Museum Hiking Trail bridge on Riverside Drive. Also taking place on Saturday, March 28 is the city’s St. Paddy’s Day parade, which starts at noon.
The June 2025 No Kings protests were among the largest single-day protests in U.S. history, with an estimated five million people participating in more than 2,100 cities and towns, including Gulfport and Jackson, Mississippi. The October protests were even larger, with some estimates going as high as seven million. As part of those demonstrations, Mississippi protests were staged in Gulfport, Hattiesburg, Hernando, Jackson, Kosciusko, Oxford, Starkville and Tupelo.
