Massachusetts ‘No Kings’ protests planned statewide Saturday, with Boston Common rally scheduled for March 28
A new statewide wave of coordinated demonstrations
A coalition of groups organizing under the “No Kings” banner is planning a new round of demonstrations across Massachusetts on Saturday, March 28, 2026, with the largest gathering scheduled for Boston Common. Organizers describe the events as part of a nationwide day of action, and say Massachusetts is expected to host a large share of the day’s rallies.
The flagship Massachusetts event is scheduled for 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Boston Common, with a rally program expected to include a speaker program during the afternoon. Organizers have framed the demonstrations as peaceful protests focused on democratic governance and opposition to what they characterize as authoritarian political behavior.
Boston Common schedule and what attendees should anticipate
In Boston, event listings and organizer materials describe a structured afternoon. The schedule centers on gathering and sign-holding in the early portion of the event, followed by a speaker program. Separate local “bridge brigade” style visibility actions have also been scheduled around Boston in the days leading up to Saturday, aimed at encouraging attendance for the Boston Common rally.
The Boston Common rally is scheduled for Saturday, March 28, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Other Massachusetts communities listing events on March 28
In addition to Boston, multiple Massachusetts communities have publicized local events for March 28. Among those with published details:
Bedford: A local “No Kings” event is listed for Saturday morning, 10 a.m. to noon, in front of Veterans’ Memorial Park.
Quincy: A “No Kings” rally is listed for Hancock Adams Common from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Separately, additional event postings indicate “No Kings” gatherings are being organized in other parts of the state, including Western Massachusetts, though not all publicly available listings provide the same level of detail on location, duration, or format.
Context: a continuing series of coordinated actions
The March 28 demonstrations are being described by organizers as the third major coordinated wave of “No Kings” actions since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term, following earlier rallies in 2025. Organizers have also indicated they want participation to extend beyond a single day, encouraging ongoing, recurring civic actions after Saturday.
For Massachusetts residents, the practical takeaway is that multiple gatherings are scheduled across the state on March 28, with Boston Common positioned as the central Massachusetts rally site for the day.
