‘No Kings’ protest brings almost 200,000 to the State Capitol

by Maya Bell | City Reporter | Published March 29, 2026

On a windy Saturday in St. Paul, hundreds of thousands gathered at the Minnesota Capitol, chanting, “No billionaires, no tyrants and no kings” at the third No Kings rally.

Minnesota was chosen as the main protest site because of the recent impacts of Operation Metro Surge, which some protestors described as an erosion of democracy.

According to organizers, there were 3,100 protests, with around 200,000 people attending the protest in Minnesota.
