Roger Straw: On Monday this week, Rachel Maddow gave the most convincing case for a third NO KINGS PROTEST. Her eleven good reasons (below) document the outrageous Trump and MAGA offenses since the last NO KINGS DAY! It was a tricky search gathering the transcript and video, but here they are. PLEASE show up in Benicia and/or Vallejo this Saturday, and see if you can bring someone who wasn’t planning to go!
From the Rachel Maddow Show, March 23, 2026…
[24:55 – 27:07] Transcript follows, see especially the 11 “bullets”. For the video, see below.)
This weekend, this Saturday…Minneapolis, will be the flagship protest in what is expected potentially to be the largest single day of protest in American history.
June of last year, that was the first No Kings protest. That drew an astonishing 5 million people across the country. You might remember that was June 14th, the first No Kings Day. That was the day Trump tried to throw himself a weird North Korea style military parade for his own birthday. That sad low turnout event was wildly overshadowed by five million Americans turning out at protests against Trump all over the country.
And then there was the second No Kings Day in October. That one did not draw 5 million people. That one drew 7 million people. The flagship protest in October was in Philadelphia, the birthplace of the Constitution. 7 million people turned out on No King’s Day in October.
And that was before…
-
- Trump bulldozed the east wing of the White House
- and before he tried to arrest six Democratic members of Congress
- and before we learned that in addition to bombing random boats in the Caribbean, he was also deliberately killing the survivors of those bombings, which is a war crime.
- It was before he invaded Venezuela and announced he was taking their oil.
- It was before he started an apocalyptic war with Iran.
- It was before he renamed the Kennedy Center for himself and then announced that he would close it.
- It’s before he blew up health insurance for millions of American families.
- It’s before he effectively made the Nobel Peace Prize winner give him her prize.
- It’s before he sent the FBI to seize the ballots from Atlanta, Georgia.
- It’s before he posted a video online depicting President Obama and his wife Michelle Obama as if they were apes.
- It’s before they killed Renee Nicole Good. It’s before they killed Alex Pretty. It’s before they took Liam.
This Saturday, it will be Minneapolis as the flagship, but there are more than 3,000 separate protests planned all over the country this Saturday.

Across the country, Americans are asking hard questions about the direction of our democracy.
-
- When federal immigration enforcement actions expand with limited oversight…
- When journalists face arrest or intimidation while doing their jobs…
- When transparency around high-profile investigations raises public concern…
- When families feel the squeeze of rising costs and economic uncertainty…
It forces us to ask: Who holds power accountable?
The founders rejected monarchy for a reason. They built a system designed to prevent concentrated, unchecked authority. “No Kings” is not a slogan — it is a reminder that in America, power flows from the people, and leaders are accountable to the Constitution.
On March 28, Vallejo joins millions nationwide for the third No Kings Day of Action.
-
- Join us for:
- Guest speakers
- Live music
- A community march
- A food drive in partnership with the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano
Last time, more than 1,200 neighbors stood together. This time, we aim to grow even stronger.
This is about defending democratic norms, protecting a free press, demanding transparency, and ensuring that the government serves the people — not the other way around.
Bring a friend. Bring your voice. Bring shelf-stable food (no glass) to support local families.
There are no kings here.
AFTER THE VALLEJO RALLY & MARCH… consider attending Benicia’s Fiestas Primavera – Celebrating Diversity, 12pm-5pm at Benicia Gazebo Park (More about Fiestas Primavera here).
REMEMBERING…
Benicia in Solidarity with Minnesota, February 2026:
Benicia’s October 2025 No Kings Rally:
Benicia’s June 2025 No Kings Rally:
In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.
Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.
The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.
A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
Benicia, California –Mark your calendars for March 28! It’s a day of embracing our differences and strengthening our community through voice and cultural celebration.
