More than 100 “No Kings” protests are planned across Wisconsin on March 28: locations and context
Statewide demonstrations scheduled as part of a larger national day of protest
More than 100 “No Kings” demonstrations are planned across Wisconsin on Saturday, March 28, as organizers schedule rallies in cities, suburbs and smaller communities statewide. The events are part of a coordinated national day of action that also includes a flagship rally at the Minnesota State Capitol.
While individual events vary by community, organizers have framed the protests around opposition to what they describe as authoritarian governing, along with concerns about federal immigration enforcement actions and other policy disputes. The “No Kings” banner has been used repeatedly over the past year for large-scale demonstrations in multiple states, with Wisconsin participating in earlier waves as well.
Where events are being held in Wisconsin
Event listings indicate a wide geographic spread across Wisconsin, including the Milwaukee area, Madison and Dane County, the Fox Valley, Green Bay-area communities, and a range of smaller municipalities. Many listings are published through centralized event-registration platforms used by organizers, as well as through community groups that share local logistics.
One example of a publicly listed event is scheduled in Mount Horeb (Dane County) from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Liberty Park. Other community listings, including compilations focused on northeastern Wisconsin, also indicate multiple events planned in that region.
Madison and Dane County: Multiple communities are listed in the region; at least one event is scheduled in Mount Horeb.
Milwaukee region: Prior “No Kings” demonstrations drew large crowds in Milwaukee; organizers have promoted statewide participation again for March 28.
Northeastern Wisconsin: Community compilations have circulated city-by-city listings for events in the region.
Because times and meeting points can change, attendees are typically instructed by organizers to confirm details through the specific event listing for their community before traveling.
Who is involved and what guidance is being emphasized
The national organizing coalition includes established civic and advocacy groups as well as local partners. The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin has publicly noted participation as a national partner for March 28, describing local engagement as nonpartisan and pointing participants to safety and nonpartisanship guidance for local leagues.
Organizers also highlight commitments to nonviolent action. Public materials for the March 28 events emphasize de-escalation, lawful conduct, and a prohibition on bringing weapons to protest sites.
What to expect locally
Residents should anticipate that some communities may see short-term traffic impacts near rally sites, particularly where events are held near downtown corridors, parks, or government buildings. As with other large public gatherings, local law enforcement agencies may coordinate street management and public-safety measures that vary by municipality.
The March 28 demonstrations are scheduled to unfold across Wisconsin communities of widely varying sizes, reflecting a statewide organizing footprint rather than a single centralized event.
