A “No Kings” protest is expected to be held from 2:00 – 4:00pm on March 28 at 1475 Old York Road in Abington Township.
The protest, the third of its kind, is slated to be one of over 2,000 locally organized demonstrations across the country, according to a map showing cities and towns involved. York Road and Lehman Avenue in Hatboro will hold a similar protest that day.
Ezra Levin, a rally organizer and the co-founder of the group Indivisible, told Politico that the protest on March 28 is in response to a “secret police force terrorizing American communities.”
“It is unfortunately not a surprise to us that this lawless police force is committing crimes all across the country and that people are standing up to it,” said Levin. “Our goal is safeguarding American democracy, protecting our communities and the people who are under threat by this regime.”
No Kings previously coordinated around 1,800 protests across the U.S. on June 14, including a protest in Glenside. In October, at least 2,700 “No Kings” events took place, including protests in Hatboro and Jenkintown.
Following October’s protest, President Trump said he is not a king and works his “ass off to make our country great,” FOX News reported.
“I looked at the people. They’re not representative of this country, and I looked at all the brand new signs paid for. I guess it was paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics,” the president said. “It looks like it was worth checking out. The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective and the people were whacked out. When you look at those people, those are not representative of the people of our country.”
Republicans have argued the protests were meant to distract from the ongoing government funding fight, FOX News said. House Speaker Mike Johnson previously congratulated protesters on a “violent-free, free speech exercise” but condemned what he said were “hateful messages” of the demonstrations.
“We have video and photos of pretty violent rhetoric, calling out the president, saying fascists must die and all the rest. I mean, I don’t think that’s loving speech. I don’t think that’s friendly speech. And I don’t think it’s pro-American to say those kinds of things,” Johnson said.
“As President Trump escalates his attempts to control us, it is on us, the people, to show that we will fight to protect one another and our country,” NoKings.org states. “If he believes we will roll over and allow him to take our freedoms, he is mistaken. We are coming together again on March 28 because we know we can overcome this repression when we unite.”

From the Abington event’s description:
Abington and surrounding communities: We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.
What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever.
When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence.
On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. 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.
